How stamp duty works in Victoria
Victoria's duty rises through several bands to a flat 5.5% of the whole price once a property costs more than $960,000, with 6.5% on the part above $2 million. Owner-occupiers get a lower rate on homes up to $550,000 (the principal place of residence concession). Foreign buyers pay an extra 8% surcharge on residential property, on top of normal duty.
First home buyers in Victoria
Eligible first home buyers pay no duty on a home up to $600,000, and a reduced amount on a sliding scale between $600,000 and $750,000. Above $750,000 the normal rates apply.
