Stamp duty — land transfer duty — is a state tax on the property’s value, on a sliding scale, with concessions that can reduce or remove it. We’ll calculate yours.
Land transfer duty is paid to the State Revenue Office when you buy property. It’s calculated on the property’s dutiable value on a sliding scale — the higher the value, the higher the rate.
Reductions may apply for first home buyers, your principal place of residence, off-the-plan purchases and pensioners — each with its own eligibility rules and value limits.
Duty is generally paid at settlement, and we arrange it as part of the conveyancing.
We calculate the exact duty for your purchase, confirm any concessions you qualify for, and handle it at settlement — no surprises.
Yes — "stamp duty" is the common name for land transfer duty, paid to the State Revenue Office of Victoria.
Often reduced or none for lower-value homes, with a concession up to a higher value. We’ll confirm what you qualify for.
