Application for refund

What is the purpose of this form?

This form can be used to apply for a refund of money that was overpaid to the State Revenue Office.

Please note:

1. Applications for refunds can only be considered if received within 5 years of the payment. In some cases, the SRO may wish to verify claims by reviewing taxpayer records. Accordingly, documentary evidence must be retained to substantiate your claim.
2. This form should not be used for refund claims relating to principal place of residence (PPR) concession, eligible first home buyer duty reduction, pensioner exemption/concession or first home owner exemption/concession on dutiable transactions. To request a refund in these situations, please complete the relevant exemption/concession claim form (Duties Forms 53D, 61, 8F and 7E respectively).
