How does Tasmania's stamp duty exemption work for first home buyers?
Tasmania provides a full stamp duty exemption for first home buyers purchasing established homes valued up to $750,000. Unlike most other states that use a sliding scale, TAS offers full exemption (no partial concession above the threshold). This relief is administered by the TAS State Revenue Office.
Can I get both the duty exemption and the $30,000 FHOG in Tasmania?
These benefits target different property types. The $30,000 FHOG applies to new homes valued up to $600,000. The stamp duty exemption applies to established homes up to $750,000. If you are buying a new home, you may qualify for the FHOG but should confirm duty treatment with the TAS SRO.
Is Tasmania's $30,000 grant permanent?
The $30,000 FHOG for new homes in Tasmania is a boosted amount running until 30 June 2026, after which it is expected to revert to $10,000. Check the Tasmanian Government's website for the latest details as the amount and end date can change with state budgets.
