State Revenue Office Duties Online Form
If you're buying or transferring property in Victoria, you'll need to complete a Duties Online Form through the State Revenue Office (SRO). This step is required before settlement. We’ll walk you through exactly what you need to do – with links, tips, and free guidance to make it easy.
Individuals or their representatives are required to use the digital duties form for all contracts or agreements for land transfer duty entered into on or after 1 July 2017.
Whilst often unpopular the form is aimed to reduce the amount of docuements required in a conveyancing transaction and to allow parties to sign electronically.

What Is a Duties Online Form?
The Duties Online Form is required to declare details of your property purchase or transfer to the Victorian State Revenue Office. It’s used to calculate stamp duty, apply concessions (e.g. First Home Buyer), and authorise your settlement to proceed.
When Do I Need to Complete It?
You must complete the form before settlement, usually after signing the contract and once finance is approved. Most conveyancers will request this at least 2 weeks before settlement.

How to complete forms electornically
An all-in-one digital duties form for property transfers in Victoria became mandatory from 1 July 2017. The digital duties form replaces paper-based land transfer duty forms, and enables electronic data pre-population into the Duties Online (DOL) system.
You will receive an email from the State Revenue Office inviting you to complete the form electronically once all parties have completed the relevant data. Once you accept you will be shown a completed form which you are required to check is true and correct to the best of you ability, and sign if all is in order. This sometimes can be very close to settlement due to the number of parties involved, or can be required to be resigned multiple times should any of the parties make alterations, no matter how minor.
We use information provided by you specific to the transaction, however for one reason or another this can be incorrect or out dated. Common examples are missing middle names or stamp duty concessions. Below are examples of details you should check when signing the form digitally.
