Stamp duty, state by state

There is no national stamp duty rate. Each state and territory charges its own duty on property transfers. Here is what the offices say, in their words.

New South Wales

You generally must pay transfer duty when you buy a property or ownership is transferred to you in NSW. Revenue NSW lists exemptions and concessions separately.

Victoria

Land transfer duty is paid when property is bought or acquired in Victoria, and the State Revenue Office publishes a duty calculator.

Queensland

Transfer duty, formerly known as stamp duty, is charged by the Queensland Government on transactions such as buying property, land or dutiable assets.

Western Australia

Transfer duty applies to transfers of real estate and certain business assets. Liability usually arises on the date the document is signed, and the person liable is generally the purchaser.

Tasmania

Duty is charged under the Duties Act 2001 when you acquire an interest in dutiable property. It is payable within three months of the transaction, usually settlement, by the purchaser.

South Australia, ACT and Northern Territory

Their revenue offices did not let us read their pages when we checked, so we quote nothing for them here.
