Common errors

Insurance policies containing general and life insurance risks

Where policies contain both types of insurance, the premiums relating to each risk must be apportioned when calculating the duty payable, because different rates of duty apply to different types of insurance.

General insurance policies covering risks across multiple states/territories of Australia

Policies of general insurance may cover property or risks across multiple states and territories in Australia.

In these cases, the insurer must apportion all premiums paid, as duty is only payable on the premium relating to the NSW property and risk.
