What information do I need to complete the additional fields?
The Sec 105 Land Tax certificate requires details about both the vendor and purchaser before it can be ordered. You will need the full legal name of each party (as individual or company), the settlement date for the transaction, and the land tax use code for the property. If you are unsure of the land tax use code, check with the vendor's legal representative or conveyancer.
