Stamp Duty

Stamp duty is a tax levied by all Australian territories and states on property purchases. The stamp duty a buyer pays is based on the property purchase price, location and loan purpose. The difference in states can be as high as $10,000 for a $500,000 property.

It is important to include any stamp duty payable in your consideration of a property and your borrowing capacity. It is important to note that Stamp Duty is not tax deductible and it is added to your cost base when you sell.
