About Stamp Duty
Stamp Duty is payable when you purchase a property in Australia.
The amount paid varies from state to state, but generally ranges from 3%-6% of the property value. If you are a First Home Buyer, you may be eligible for what is called a 'stamp duty concession'. This is where the state applies a discount to the stamp duty and reduces the overall amount that you need to pay.
