When registered for eDuties, solicitors, conveyancers and accountants can lodge duties assessment applications online on behalf of clients with Revenue NSW.

On this page

eDuties is an online service for solicitors, conveyancers and accountants (property professionals) who lodge assessment applications with Revenue NSW on behalf of their clients.

eDuties is used for complex or high-value transactions that cannot be processed in Electronic Duties Returns (EDR).

View a list of applications you can lodge via eDuties. You can also use eDuties to:

  • rectify errors in EDR assessments
  • lodge cancellation requests for EDR errors, and
  • apply for refunds and interest remissions.

If you only need access to eDuties follow the steps outlined on this page.

For example, your business may only need eDuties:

  • if it outsources assessment and payment of common transactions to a third-party agent, or
  • only deals with complex duties transactions.

If your business needs access to both EDR and eDuties, go to register for Electronic Duties Return.

Who can register

To register for eDuties you must be:

  • a principal solicitor, practising accountant, or a licenced conveyancer, and
  • director of the business, or
  • a partner of the business, or
  • an authorised signatory, or
  • an office bearer who can legally sign on behalf of the company.

Already registered for EDR?

If you are already registered for EDR you do not need to register for eDuties separately.

Revenue NSW creates an eDuties account for you when your EDR registration is approved.
