### sec.290B Reassessment—stamping before advance—Tasmanian property
This section applies in relation to a mortgage mentioned in section 260 or 261 if—
the mortgage was first signed before 1 July 2007 and partly affected property located in Tasmania; and
the mortgage was properly stamped or exempt from duty, and mortgage duty was paid for the mortgage before 1 July 2007, under the Duties Act 2001 (Tas) , section 151 , in relation to an advance made under the mortgage on or after the commencement of this section; and
before 1 July 2007, the mortgage was stamped under section 257 (1) and (2) in relation to the advance; and
after the commencement of this section, the duty mentioned in paragraph (b) (the Tasmanian duty ) is refunded because the mortgage is no longer stamped before the advance.
Section 257 (1) and (2) are taken not to have authorised the stamping of the mortgage and the commissioner must make a reassessment to impose mortgage duty on the mortgage based on the dutiable proportion at the liability date.
The mortgagor or mortgagee must, within 28 days of the Tasmanian duty being refunded—
give written notice to the commissioner stating that the Tasmanian duty has been refunded; and
ensure the mortgage is lodged for a reassessment of mortgage duty on the mortgage.
Failure to give the notice is an offence under the Administration Act , section 120 .
Compliance with subsection (3) by the mortgagor or mortgagee relieves the other person from complying with the subsection.
