How stamp duty works

Stamp duty (called transfer duty in NSW/QLD/WA, conveyance duty in ACT, and land transfer duty in VIC) is a tax paid to the state government when you buy property. Each state sets its own progressive tier table — the more expensive the property, the higher the marginal rate.

First Home Buyer concessionscan reduce or eliminate duty if you’re buying as an owner-occupier and meet the price threshold for your state. Most states also distinguish between new builds and established homes.

Other government fees (mortgage registration and transfer/title registration) usually total a few hundred dollars and are payable regardless of buyer status.
