Queensland Transfer Duty (Stamp Duty) Rates

Transfer duty, commonly known as stamp duty, is a Queensland Government tax that generally applies when you acquire property. The amount payable depends on the property’s dutiable value, the buyer’s circumstances and whether any concessions or additional duties apply. Payment timing depends on the transaction and how the documents are lodged and assessed.

Below is a general guide:

Property Price	Stamp Duty Rate
$0 – $5,000	No Stamp Duty
$5,001 – $75,000	$1.50 for every $100 over $5,000
$75,001 – $540,000	$1,050 + $3.50 for every $100 over $75,000
$540,001 – $1,000,000	$17,325 + $4.50 for every $100 over $540,000
Over $1,000,000	$38,025 + $5.75 for every $100 over $1,000,000

Example:

For an investment property with a dutiable value of $600,000:

$17,325 + $4.50 for each $100 over $540,000
= $17,325 + $2,700
= $20,025 transfer duty

The main types of concessions include:

According to the Queensland Revenue Office, first home buyers may be eligible for concessions or exemptions on stamp duty (transfer duty) when purchasing a property to live in. These concessions are designed to reduce the financial burden on first-time home buyers.

Home Concession

Available to eligible buyers purchasing a property to use as their principal place of residence. You do not need to be a first home buyer to qualify.

First Home Concession – Established Homes

Eligible first home buyers purchasing an established home may receive a concession. For homes valued at $700,000 or less, transfer duty may be reduced to $0, with a reduced concession applying up to $800,000.

First Home Concession – New Homes

For eligible contracts entered into on or after 1 May 2025, first home buyers purchasing a new home may receive a full transfer duty concession, with no value cap applying to the residential portion of the property.

First Home Vacant Land Concession

For eligible contracts entered into on or after 1 May 2025, first home buyers purchasing vacant residential land to build their first home may receive a full transfer duty concession, with no value cap applying to eligible residential land.

Foreign Buyers (AFAD)

Foreign purchasers of residential property in Queensland may be required to pay an additional 8% Additional Foreign Acquirer Duty (AFAD) on top of standard transfer duty.

Eligibility requirements and concession rates can change and depend on individual circumstances. Please refer to the Queensland Revenue Office or seek professional advice before relying on these figures.

Home Concession Duty Rate

If you are buying a property to use as your home and meet the eligibility requirements, the home concession rates below may apply instead of the standard transfer duty rates.

Purchase price/value	Duty rate
Not more than $350,000	$1.00 for each $100 or part of $100
More than $350,000 to $540,000	$3,500 + $3.50 for every $100, or part of $100, over $350,000
$540,000 to $1,000,000	$10,150 + $4.50 for every $100, or part of $100, over $540,000
More than $1,000,000	$30,850 + $5.75 for every $100, or part of $100, over $1,000,000

Eligible first home buyers purchasing an established home valued at $700,000 or less may pay no transfer duty. For homes valued between $700,000 and $800,000, a partial first home concession may apply. For homes valued at $800,000 or more, the additional first home concession does not apply, although an eligible buyer may still qualify for the home concession.

Important eligibility change from 1 August 2026

For agreements entered into from 1 August 2026, eligibility for Queensland’s home, first home and first home vacant land transfer duty concessions is generally limited to Australian citizens, permanent residents and certain specified foreign retirees. Temporary residents generally do not qualify.

Eligibility depends on individual circumstances, so buyers should confirm their position with the Queensland Revenue Office or their solicitor/conveyancer.
