TORRENS TITLE   Title to land evidenced by an entry in a government register kept at the Titles Office and the issue of a certificate. (The Torrens system is named after its inventor in about 1858, Sir Robert Torrens, the first premier of South Australia.) See also "General Law Title".

TRANSFER OF LAND   A document notifying the change of ownership of land which is forwarded to the Titles Office to allow its register and the Certificate of Title to be suitably amended.

TURNOVER (GST)   Taxable supplies and GST?free supplies, but not input taxed supplies. For property owners this means that residential rents are disregarded, while for stock exchange investors it means that dividends and interest are disregarded.
