Stamp Duty on Buying Houses
The rate of Stamp Duty varies in each Australian State, but in Sydney it is currently around 3.5% to 4.00%
Examples:
A $400,000 property incurs $13,490 stamp duty or 3.37%
A $600,000 property incurs $22,490 stamp duty or 3.75%
However, if you are a FIRST HOME buyer, then you pay ZERO stamp duty on the purchase of a home up to $500,000. Between $500,000 and $600,000 you pay on a sliding scale, and over $600,000 you pay normal rates.
