Victorian land transfer duty rises on a sliding scale with the price — with concessions and exemptions for eligible first-home buyers.
Stamp duty in Victoria is land transfer duty, charged by the State Revenue Office on a sliding scale that rises with the price — from a few per cent on lower-value homes up to around 5.5% at the top of the scale.
Concessions matter: eligible first-home buyers may pay no duty up to $600,000 and a reduced rate to $750,000, and there are principal-place-of-residence, off-the-plan and pensioner concessions in some cases.
Because the figure depends on the price, property type and your eligibility, use the SRO calculator for a precise number — we can confirm what concessions apply to your purchase.
