At a glance
The scope is the same as our national capital gains tax valuation service. Reports are desktop valuations, so location does not affect the fee or the turnaround. Our office is in Adelaide; the sales evidence is drawn from the market the property sits in.
We also prepare a retrospective valuation in Perth for any past date.
Independent reports for any date, prepared and signed by a Chartered Accountant and Certified Property Valuer. Residential $297, commercial $595, AUD inc. GST, delivered in 24 to 48 hours.
Start your orderHow it worksCapital gains tax is a Commonwealth tax administered by the ATO. Transfer duty and land tax are Western Australian taxes administered by RevenueWA, with their own valuation rules and timing. A valuation prepared for CGT purposes is not automatically the figure RevenueWA will adopt, and the reverse is also true.
Related-party transfers are where the two most often meet, since the same transaction can attract duty assessed on market value and a CGT event assessed on market value under separate regimes. Confirm the state tax treatment with your accountant or settlement agent.
RevenueWA's related party transaction requirements list what has to accompany a transfer of land between related parties: the transfer document, the foreign transfer duty declaration, and evidence of value in one of three forms. That evidence is a duties valuation form for the land, an electronic valuation request lodged through Revenue Online, or a valuation from a qualified valuer as described in Commissioner's Practice TAA 23. A copy of any valuation or appraisal obtained on the property within three months of the transaction must also be lodged. No assessment issues until all of it is in.
The Commissioner's Practice TAA 23 route is the one that avoids the duties valuation form, and RevenueWA's valuations guidance ties it to a valuer licensed under the Land Valuers Licensing Act 1978 for residential and commercial land up to $2 million. A report that does not meet that description is not wasted, but the conveyancer or settlement agent will still need to lodge the valuation form or request.
For a Perth family transferring a Subiaco or Joondalup property, the sequencing matters more than in most states: the three-month rule captures any appraisal already on file, so an early agent figure that is below the eventual valuation will be sitting in the lodgement. A single valuation dated to the transfer date, prepared with comparable sales, is the cleanest evidence for RevenueWA and is the figure the ATO uses under the market value substitution rule. Confirm with your settlement agent which lodgement route applies to the valuer's licence.

Rural holdings, mining-town property with thin sales evidence and specialised commercial assets are quoted individually.
Generally no. Our reports are desktop valuations built on comparable sales and documentary evidence, which suits CGT work because most CGT valuation dates are historical. No inspection today can record what a property was like at a past date.
Yes, though these are quoted individually where sales evidence is thin. Values in those markets have swung far more sharply than metropolitan Perth, so the report is anchored to evidence from the valuation period rather than adjusted from current sales.
Residential reports are $297 inc. GST and commercial reports are $595 inc. GST, fixed and quoted upfront, delivered in 24 to 48 hours. Retrospective dates cost the same as current dates.
Yes. RevenueWA requires evidence of value on every related party land transfer: a duties valuation form, an electronic valuation request, or a written valuation from a qualified valuer under Commissioner's Practice TAA 23. Any valuation or appraisal obtained within the previous three months must also be lodged. Duty is not assessed until the evidence is in. A transfer-date valuation also fixes the CGT market value for both parties.
Because the market has moved in pronounced cycles. A value at one date and a value a few years either side can differ substantially, so a report prepared at the wrong date can be technically sound and still useless. Confirm the date the provision requires before ordering.
