My understanding is that PTT can be considered part of the cost of purchase, and then on the sale of that property they are included when accounting for capital gains/losses. Therefore they will adjust for you at that point in a positive manor, however you can't write them off against your taxable income in the year of acquisition as a separate expense.

Ahh. That makes perfect sense then, since it's a capital cost of acquiring the property.
