Stamp Duty FAQs

When do you pay stamp duty?

When to pay stamp duty depends on the state. Typically, stamp duty is payable between one and three months after signing the contract of sale and completing the home loan settlement

For example, in New South Wales (NSW), you must pay stamp duty within 3 months of settlement. You must pay within 30 days of signing in Victoria (VIC) and Queensland (QLD). In South Australia, you must pay stamp duty before you can get registered on the Certificate of Title (i.e. before settlement). 

How is stamp duty calculated?

Stamp duty is calculated by the market value of the property or the price paid for the property – usually whatever is higher. Stamp duty rates and first home buyer concessions vary by Australian state and territory, so Mozo’s stamp duty calculator considers your location.

Do first home buyers pay stamp duty?

First home buyers in Australia may be eligible for stamp duty concessions or exemptions thanks to government first home buyer grants. Eligibility criteria depend on the buyer and state.
