sec.25BA Meaning of regional eligible transaction for div 5
A regional eligible transaction is an eligible transaction the commencement date for which is between 1 June 2010 and 30 June 2011, both dates inclusive, if— the transaction is— a contract for the purchase of a new home; or a comprehensive home building contract for a new home; or the building of a new home by an owner builder; and on the commencement date for the transaction, the land on which the home is or will be located is wholly outside the SEQ region.
