1—Short title
These regulations may be cited as the Real Property (Fees) Regulations 2002.
4—Interpretation
In these regulations, unless the contrary intention appears—
Act means the Real Property Act 1886;
check search of a certificate of title, is an inspection of the certificate of title to ascertain—
(a)whether there are any documents lodged in respect of, but not registered on, the certificate of title; or
(b)whether any documents have been registered on the certificate of title within the period of 90 days prior to the inspection;
Mount Lofty Catchment Area means the part of the State delineated in G.R.O. Plan No. 180 of 1992 and described in that plan as "Water Supply Protection Zone".
5—Fees payable to Registrar-General
(1)The fees set out in Schedule 1 are payable to the Registrar-General.
(2)If the amount of the registration fee payable in respect of a transfer is to be based on the value of the transfer assessed under the Stamp Duties Act 1923, the amount of the registration fee must be based on that value despite—
(a)a pending reassessment under section 10 of the Taxation Administration Act 1996; or
(b)a pending objection or appeal against the assessment under section 82 or 92 of the Taxation Administration Act 1996.
(3)If the assessed value is reduced as a result of a reassessment by the Commissioner under section 10 of the Taxation Administration Act 1996, the Registrar-General must refund the difference between the registration fee paid and the registration fee that would have been payable in accordance with the reassessed value.
(4)If the assessed value is reduced as a result of an objection under section 82 of the Taxation Administration Act 1996 or an appeal under section 92 of that Act, the Registrar-General must refund the difference between the registration fee paid and the registration fee that would have been payable in accordance with the reassessed value, together with interest calculated on a daily basis from the date of lodgement of the transfer for registration until the date on which the difference is refunded at the market rate applying from time to time under Part 5 Division 1 of that Act.
