How much stamp duty will I pay when buying property in Australia?

General information from Lawmateanz

Stamp duty (sometimes called transfer duty) is a state or territory tax on property purchases. The amount depends on the purchase price, the state, and whether you're a first home buyer, an investor or a foreign buyer.

Many states offer exemptions or concessions for first home buyers below certain price limits, while foreign buyers often pay a surcharge.

Your state revenue office has an online calculator.

A conveyancer will tell you the exact amount and when it's payable.
