DUTIES ACT 2008 - SECT 95

95 .         Transactions for charitable etc. purposes

        (1)         Duty is not chargeable on a dutiable transaction that has been entered into or occurred for charitable or similar public purposes.

        (2)         However, subsection (1) does not apply if the person liable to pay duty on the dutiable transaction is a relevant body, or is related to a relevant body as referred to in subsection (3), unless a beneficial body determination is in force for the purposes of this Act in respect of the relevant body.

        (3)         A person liable to pay duty on a dutiable transaction is related to a relevant body if —

            (a)         the person holds the dutiable property the subject of the transaction as trustee of a trust; and

            (b)         the relevant body is a beneficiary under the trust, whether the relevant body has a vested share or is contingently entitled or is a potential beneficiary under a discretionary trust, unless —

                  (i)         the trust is a discretionary trust; and

                  (ii)         the Commissioner decides in a particular case that it would be inequitable for the person to be treated as related to the relevant body.
