Summary

Summary

Do you act for vendors or purchasers of “new residential premises” or “potential residential land”?  

A new GST withholding regime comes into effect on 1 July 2018. Do you know: 

• Will the purchaser have a withholding obligation at settlement, and if so,
for what amount?
 
• How is the withholding obligation complied with?

• Will the vendor need to provide the purchaser with a withholding notification
prior to settlement?  

• Do amendments need to be made to the sale of land contract?  

• What happens if the purchaser fails to withhold when it should?
