S. 32Q(8) inserted by No. 28/2017 s. 33(4). (8) Despite subsection (1), duty is not charged under subsection (1)(a) or (c) (as the case requires) on an initial transaction— (a) if a person obtains a transfer right under a latter transaction that is greater than a transfer right the person obtained under the initial transaction—to the extent of the transfer right obtained by the person under the initial transaction; and (b) if a person obtains a transfer right under a latter transaction that is less than a transfer right the person obtained under the initial transaction—to the extent of the transfer right obtained by the person under the latter transaction. A vendor grants an option that entitles persons A and B to require the vendor to enter into a contract of sale of dutiable property (the ***initial transaction***). Under the option, persons A and B each obtain a transfer right to a 50% interest in the property. Under a subsequent transaction immediately following the granting of the option (a ***latter transaction***), person A obtains a transfer right in respect of a 100% interest in the property. Duty is not charged under subsection (1)(a) in respect of the option to the extent of the transfer right obtained by person A under the initial transaction (50%). S. 32Q(9) inserted by No. 28/2017 s. 33(4). (9) In subsection (8)— ***initial transaction*** means the option or a subsequent transaction; S. 32R inserted by No. 36/2005 s. 10.
