Estimate transfer duty, stamp duty, conveyancing and statutory costs for your market — broken down line by line, with the total cash you need at transfer.
South Africa charges tiered transfer duty, with nothing payable below R1,210,000 and 13% on the portion above R13,310,000.
Buyer type does not change this figure: In South Africa transfer duty is identical for individuals, companies, close corporations and trusts — SARS applies one sliding scale to all buyers. The separate flat rate for companies and trusts was abolished on 23 February 2011, so switching buyer type correctly leaves these figures unchanged.
