The leasehold duty is calculated at a rate of 1% of the rent amount and the costs corresponding to the entire period for which the tenant occupies the property. You must pay the leasehold duty in full when you register your tenancy agreement contract.
You must register your tenancy agreement, under pain of penalties, within the three months which follow the signing of the contract.
Tenancy agreements lasting more than three years
If the tenancy agreement lasts more than three years (for example, tenancy agreements lasting six or nine years), you may request to pay in instalments split into periods of three years. In such cases, the leasehold duty is calculated and paid in accordance with the following terms:
** When the contract is registered, the 1% duty for the rent amount and the costs for the first three years is payable
** For each one of the periods which follow, a payment notice is delivered to the tenant at the beginning of the period
Renewal of the tenancy agreement:
In the event that a tenancy agreement is renewed, the duty corresponding to the new tenancy period is settled on receipt of a payment notice delivered by the Department of Tax Services
