Accordingly, the share of the dutiable property agreed to be transferred to each purchaser is one-third each. When the property is transferred, it is transferred to only 2 of the purchasers so that each purchaser acquires a one-half share. The shares transferred exceed the shares agreed to be transferred. That is, each purchaser has acquired a one-half share in the property instead of a one-third share. The excess proportion is the total of the proportions by which the shares transferred to the transferees exceed the shares agreed to be transferred. The total of (one-half minus one-third) and (one-half minus one-third) is one-third. Duty is charged on one-third of the dutiable value of the property transferred. > > Example 2: An agreement provides for the transfer of dutiable property to 2 purchasers as equal tenants in common. Accordingly, the share of the dutiable property agreed to be transferred to each purchaser is one-half each. When the property is transferred, it is transferred to 3 transferees so that each transferee acquires a one-third share. The 2 one-third shares transferred to the original purchasers under the agreement do not exceed the shares agreed to be transferred. The excess proportion is the proportion by which the share transferred to the new transferee (one-third) exceeds the share agreed to be transferred (nil). Duty is charged on one-third of the dutiable value of the property transferred. > > **s 64C:** Ins 2012 No 20, Sch 1 \[10\].
