If the seller is an individual there are a few circumstances where they do not have to pay SBT. It is best to consult a lawyer to confirm you fall into any of these categories.
Please note: fees are different for registering a lease and buying a property from a property developer.
In regards to who pays the fees – this can vary for transaction and is typically discussed beforehand. Developers usually split all fees 50/50 with buyers.
On private transaction most the fees including taxes are typically covered by the seller. Buyers are generally expected to cover 1% of the 2% transfer fee. However, this is very much a case-by-case outcome and subject to negotiation.
