Worked example
A $650,000 owner-occupier purchase in Victoria: falls in the $130k–$960k band. Duty = $2,870 + ($650,000 − $130,000) × 6% = $2,870 + $31,200 = $34,070. Effective rate = $34,070 ÷ $650,000 = 5.24%. Total purchase cost = $684,070.

Stamp duty uses sliding-scale brackets. You pay a fixed base amount plus a percentage on the amount above each threshold. The rate increases as the property value increases.
Which states have first home buyer exemptions?
NSW (under $800k), VIC (under $600k with taper to $750k) and QLD (under $500k) have full or partial FHB exemptions for 2024-25. WA, SA and NT have separate FHB grant schemes.
When must stamp duty be paid?
Generally within 30 days of contract signing or settlement — whichever is earlier. Penalties and interest apply for late payment. Check with your state revenue office.
Is stamp duty tax deductible?
For owner-occupiers: no. For investment properties: stamp duty is added to the cost base of the property for CGT purposes but is not immediately deductible as an expense.
What is the effective stamp duty rate?
The effective rate is total duty divided by property value, expressed as a percentage. It is lower than the top marginal rate because earlier brackets are taxed at lower rates.
