Does an SMSF trust deed need to be stamped?

The requirements in relation to stamping a deed establishing a SMSF vary from state to state.

As at June 2015, the only jurisdictions in Australia that require stamping are Tasmania ($50 nominal duty) and the Northern Territory ($20 nominal duty plus $5 for each copy of the SMSF trust deed). None of the other jurisdictions require new SMSF trust deeds to be stamped.
