    Perhaps a 90/10 split will be cheaper in terms of duty, but there could be other things to consider.

    No duty if the land owner is a company in some states. :)

    Hi Paul. Do you know if that is the case in NSW? The land owner is a company at present but I will be doing this (at present as I am waiting to speak with my accountant) in my wife and I's personal name.

    I think Paul is referring to the transfer of shares of a company. In NSW there is now no duty, unless the company is a landholder - which is generally defined as holding land worth more than $2mil
