Frequent Risk Signals

• Inherited Tax Debt: Under South Australian law, land tax is a charge on the land itself; if the vendor has unpaid taxes, RevenueSA can pursue the new owner for the full amount after settlement.
• Statutory Charge Priority: Land tax debts take priority over almost all other interests in the land, meaning the government has a legal right to the property's value ahead of your mortgage provider.
• Aggregation Surprises: Because South Australia uses an aggregation model for land tax, a vendor with multiple properties may owe a significantly higher rate than expected, potentially leaving a massive unpaid bill on your specific title.
• Foreign Ownership Surcharges: If the vendor is a foreign person or a foreign-controlled trust, they may be liable for the 0.5% foreign owner surcharge; if this is not cleared, it becomes the buyer's risk to rectify.
• REISA Contract Default: While the standard REISA Contract generally requires taxes to be adjusted, failing to specifically request a Section 7 search or a certificate of land tax can lead to a waiver of your right to demand a "clear" title at settlement.
• Delayed Settlement Penalties: If your conveyancer discovers an outstanding land tax debt on the morning of settlement, the vendor may refuse to pay, leading to a standoff that causes you to default on your finance and incur daily penalty interest.
