        (a)     the duty paid on the original PPR transfer; and

        (b)     the duty on the original PPR transfer calculated—

              (i)     at the rate set out in section 28(1); and

              (ii)     without any adjustment of consideration under section 21(3) or (4) or 32V(3) or (4).
