Duty on shares

Generally, you do not have to pay duty or lodge documents for a transfer of shares in a private or public corporation.

However, duty may still apply if you acquire shares in a corporation that:

• has land-holdings in Queensland of $2 million or more—see landholder duty for more information
• holds property on trust. Find out more about corporate trustee duty.
