Frequently Asked Questions
How is stamp duty calculated in Australia?
Stamp duty is calculated as a percentage of the property's purchase price or market value (whichever is greater) on a sliding scale. The exact rates, brackets, and concession thresholds vary significantly between Australian states and territories, and also depend on whether you are a first home buyer, owner-occupier, investor, or foreign buyer.
Is stamp duty different for commercial and residential properties?
Yes, stamp duty rules and rates differ between property types depending on the state. For instance, Victoria offers concessional rates for commercial properties in regional areas, whereas states like South Australia have abolished stamp duty on qualifying commercial property transfers entirely.
