Last updated 16 November 2021

Note: Only access these forms from this web page or the PEXA platformExternal Link. This will reduce issues if you attempt to lodge another way.

Step 1: Complete and lodge Form one

Lodge now – Form one: GST property settlement withholding notification

When lodging Form one for a property with a contract entered into before 1 July 2018 and settlement is after 30 June 2020, the contract date you enter depends on if you lodge via:

  • our website – enter a contract date of 1 July 2018 to allow the form to be lodged
  • PEXA platform – enter the actual contract date.

Form one notifies us that a purchaser has entered into a contract and has a withholding obligation.

You can complete and lodge Form one any time after the contract has been entered into and you have a written notification from your supplier. You can lodge up until the due date for payment of the withholding amount – this is usually settlement or the first instalment date.

Refer to How to complete Form one.

Step 2: Complete and lodge Form two

Lodge now – Form two: GST property settlement date confirmation

Form two confirms the settlement date and attaches the withholding liability onto the purchaser's account.
