Published in July 2018, this title offers a practical guide to stamp duties in every Australian jurisdiction.
The definitive guide to Australian stamp duties law is
written by Dr Philip
Bender.
Bender's Australian Stamp Duties provides a unique and comprehensive exposition of stamp duties law in each state and territory of Australia. The guide aims to be Australia’s most comprehensive guide on stamp duty — a “one-stop” shop on the subject. The guide covers not only transfer and conveyance duty, but also provides detailed commentary about trusts and partnerships, landholder duty, insurance duty, motor vehicle duty, other miscellaneous duties, concessions and exemptions, corporate reconstruction and consolidation relief, tax avoidance, and tax administration.
The guide will be helpful not only to specialist stamp duty practitioners, but also to lawyers and accountants who have less experience in the field.

helpful
comparative tables of the stamp duty rules in each state and
territory;
