Stamp Duty

Stamp duty is a general purpose tax administered by the Territory Revenue Office that is imposed on various types of documents and transactions.

Payroll Tax

Payroll tax is a general purpose tax imposed on wages paid by employers. The Territory Revenue Office administers payroll tax and employers are able to lodge their returns electronically through our TRMeR system.

Royalties

We administer and collect royalties under the Mineral Royalty Act, which levies royalty on the recovery of mineral commodities from a mining tenement in the Northern Territory and the Petroleum Act, which levies royalty on the production of petroleum in the Northern Territory.

Unclaimed Moneys

Certain categories of unclaimed moneys either revert back to Northern Territory Treasury, or Treasury must give prior approval for their release. These are unclaimed company moneys and unclaimed superannuation moneys.
