TAS First Home Buyer Concession
Tasmania does not apply a price-threshold stamp duty exemption for established homes — first home buyer support comes mainly through the $20,000 First Home Owner Grant for newly built homes, plus the federal FHSS super-saver scheme.
At $800,000, this price is above TAS's first home buyer concession ceiling, so full standard duty of $31,185 applies with no first-home discount on duty.
