Worked example

Worked example: a $600,000 home

South Australia applies the same marginal schedule to every buyer. On a $600,000 purchase:

Duty on the first $500,000 (brackets up to 5%) $21,330
$500,001 – $600,000 ($100,000) at 5.5% $5,500
Total stamp duty $26,830

An eligible first home buyer purchasing a new home pays $0 duty regardless of price. A foreign buyer pays an additional 7% foreign ownership surcharge on top of this amount.

First home buyers

SA abolished the first home buyer stamp duty cap for new homes in June 2024. First home buyers pay $0 duty on new homes with no value limit. The $15,000 First Home Owner Grant also has no cap for new homes. Established homes receive no concession.

FAQ
What financial year are these rates for?
The duty schedule is the current RevenueSA schedule. Optional Lands Titles Office registration fees use the official 2026-27 fee notice effective 1 July 2026.
Do first home buyers get a stamp duty concession in SA?
Yes, for eligible new homes, off-the-plan apartments and vacant land on which the buyer will build a home. Contracts from 6 June 2024 have no value cap. Established homes receive no relief.
Are the rates different for investors vs owner-occupiers?
No. South Australia uses the same 9-bracket marginal rate schedule for all buyers regardless of whether the property is for investment or personal use.
Can I claim stamp duty as a tax deduction?
Owner-occupiers cannot deduct stamp duty. Investors add it to their cost base for capital gains tax purposes.
Does SA charge foreign buyer surcharge?
SA charges a foreign ownership surcharge of 7% on residential property purchases by foreign persons, in addition to the standard duty.
How much is stamp duty on a $500,000 house in SA?
At $500,000, South Australian stamp duty is $21,330 — the same for owner-occupiers and investors. First home buyers purchasing a new home pay $0. Enter your price above for an exact figure.
When do I pay stamp duty in South Australia?
Stamp duty is paid at settlement. In practice your conveyancer self-determines the duty and pays RevenueSA as part of the settlement, so the document can be registered.
Can I add stamp duty to my home loan?
Generally no. Stamp duty is paid in cash at settlement and is not usually capitalised into the loan, because lenders size the loan against the property value. Budget for it upfront with your deposit and registration fees.
Is stamp duty tax deductible in South Australia?
For an owner-occupied home, no. For an investment property, stamp duty is not immediately deductible but is added to the cost base, reducing your capital gain when you sell.
