Tasmania stamp duty and first home buyer figures

There's no first home concession at that price, so a first home buyer pays the same.

Sources and dates

General information only, not personal financial or credit advice. Figures are calculated from published state and territory rules for the scenarios shown. They do not confirm eligibility for any concession or scheme, assess borrowing capacity or replace a quote from a conveyancer or the relevant revenue office.

Not included in these figures:

  • Foreign purchaser surcharge duty and land tax.
  • Off-the-plan, pensioner, senior and other special concessions not listed on each state page.
  • First home owner grants and other cash grants, which are paid separately and do not reduce duty.
  • Eligibility conditions such as residence periods, citizenship, prior ownership and income tests. The first home figures assume every condition is met.
  • Conveyancing, lender, inspection and insurance costs.
