Document lodgement form (Form TR1)

Form TR1 identifies who is lodging documents with Queensland Revenue Office (QRO) for assessment and stamping endorsement under the Duties Act 2001 (Qld) and what kind of transaction they relate to, so the documents reach the right area. Its guide says you must complete it each time you lodge documents with QRO for assessment and endorsement, and a separate form is needed for each document set where documents are for different parties or different primary transaction types. It is a one-page form in three parts. It does not replace the transaction forms themselves, such as Form D2.2, D2.1 or D2.3, or the covering letter QRO asks for.

When you need it

• You are lodging documents directly with QRO (not through a registered self assessor) for a transfer duty assessment and stamping.
• You are lodging documents for a landholder or corporate trustee acquisition, a motor vehicle exemption claim, an insurance duty refund for a charitable institution, a non-dutiable transaction or an old Stamp Act matter, all of which are listed transaction types on the form.
• You are lodging several document sets for different parties or transaction types: use one TR1 for each set.

1. 1

   Part A - lodging party details

   Enter your QRO client number if you have one, and your own file reference if you want. If you have no client number, or your details have changed, give your full given names (no initials) and date of birth, or the organisation name (for example a company, or a trustee and trust name) with ABN or ACN and any trading name.

2. 2

   Part B - correspondence address

   Give a care-of name, street or PO Box address, suburb or town, country, phone and email. Skip this part if you have a client number and your details have not changed.

3. 3

   Part C - transaction type

   Tick only one primary transaction type: residential land transfer; non-residential land or other property transfer; motor vehicle transfer; relevant acquisition in an unlisted corporation (landholder or corporate trustee); non-dutiable transaction; extinct tax or Stamp Act transaction; or insurance duty. Part D is for office use only.

• QRO accepts documents by post to Queensland Revenue Office, GPO Box 2593, Brisbane Qld 4001, or scanned copies by email to duties@treasury.qld.gov.au. It does not accept documents or payment in person.
• Lodge within the time the Duties Act allows. For most transfers QRO says documents must be lodged within 30 days of being signed.
• QRO assesses the documents, sends an assessment notice, and returns the stamped documents once the duty is paid.
• Cheques should be payable to Queensland Revenue Office, crossed and marked 'Not Negotiable'; electronic payments must quote the transaction number shown on the assessment notice (form guide).

• Keep copies of everything you send. The form says neither QRO nor the Commissioner accepts responsibility for loss or damage to lodged documents.
• Tick a single transaction type only; split mixed lodgements into separate sets with their own TR1.
• Include the transaction forms and a covering letter listing the documents, your name and return address, as QRO asks.
