QuestionView source ↗

I refer to Legislative Assembly Question on Notice 227, where the Minister provided the aggregate transfer duty collected in 2024-25 for residential properties within specified dutiable value intervals. While the data reported the dollar value of duty assessed, the actual quantity of houses or property titles corresponding to each purchase price interval was not disclosed, and I ask : (a) Could the Minister please provide, for the 2024-25 financial year, the number of residential properties (houses/titles) that fell within each dutiable value interval as reported in the answer to Question on Notice 227, specifically for: (i) $0–$400,000; (ii) $400,001–$450,000; (iii) $450,001–$500,000; (iv) $500,001–$550,000; (v) $550,001–$600,000; (vi) $600,001–$650,000; (vii) $650,001–$700,000; (viii) $700,001–$750,000; (ix) $750,001–$800,000; (x) $800,001–$850,000; (xi) $850,001–$900,000; (xii) $900,001–$950,000; (xiii) $950,001–$1,000,000; (xiv) $1,000,001–$1,050,000; (xv) $1,050,001–$1,100,000; (xvi) $1,100,001–$1,150,000; (xvii) $1,150,001–$1,200,000; and (xviii) Greater than $1,200,000; and (b) Can the Minister confirm that the sum of the quantities aligns with all homes subject to duty in FY 2024-25 as per the earlier answer?

(a)        This data reports on the land use declared by the party lodging a transaction for assessment. It includes transactions comprising residential property and other dutiable property, as RevenueWA is unable to allocate duty between these two categories on individual transactions.
The data excludes transactions that qualified for a full exemption from duty. The data includes transactions that qualified for a full concession under the first home owner concessional rate of duty.
For residential properties; and residential vacant land:
(i)        9,800; 15,258.
(ii)       4,009; 1,501.
(iii)      4,087; 794.
(iv)      4,534; 494.
(v)       5,842; 334.
(vi)      5,847; 295.
(vii)     5,808; 228.
(viii)    5,122; 149.
(ix)      4,254; 115.
(x)       3,511; 98.
(xi)      3,031; 87.
(xii)     2,356; 63.
(xiii)    1,891; 71.
(xiv)    1,110; 40.
(xv)     1,138; 34.
(xvi)    919; 18.
(xvii)   1,002; 43.
(xviii) 9,988; 300.
(b)       The aggregate of (a) is equivalent to the total number of taxpayers purchasing residential property and residential vacant land in 2024-25.
However, it should be noted this breakdown is based on the most recently available transfer duty data for 2024-25, which is slightly different to the data extracted for the prior response.
