How this is worked out
4 of these charges appear on every single listed unit (Stamp duty @ 5%, Club membership, IFMS (maintenance deposit) and Registration @ 1%). 4 are conditional and depend on the unit you pick: GST @ 5% on 21 of 24 units, PLC (preferred location) on 20 of 24 units, Car park on 21 of 24 units and Floor rise on 14 of 24 units.
The three statutory items — GST @ 5%, Stamp duty @ 5% and Registration @ 1% — are charged on the agreement value, which is the base price after PLC, floor rise, parking and club are added, not on the base price alone. That is why they look larger than their headline rate.
One of these is refundable rather than spent: IFMS (maintenance deposit) — Refundable, held by the association.
Rates and deposit conventions change. Pinly reproduces exactly what each listing records and does not independently verify tax rates — check the current position with the developer and your lawyer before you transact.
