flag ASIC maintains stamp duty as a transaction cost, plans review in 2026–27, and proposes spreading costs over seven years.

flag ASIC will keep current RG 97 rules classifying stamp duty as a transaction cost, despite criticism it distorts investment costs and discourages domestic property investment. flag A full review of the rule is planned for 2026–27, while a consultation proposes spreading stamp duty costs over seven years to improve transparency. flag The Financial Services Council supports the move toward smoother reporting, but the Property Council of Australia says it falls short of fixing the core issue, warning it could continue to favor overseas investment over domestic development. flag Comments on the proposals are open until February 2026.
