Stamp duty in Victoria

Victoria calculates transfer duty on a progressive scale and offers a Principal Place of Residence (PPR) concession that reduces duty for owner-occupiers. The PPR concession can save thousands compared to the general (investor) rate. Victoria also has a First Home Owner Grant of $10,000 for new homes up to $750,000, plus stamp duty exemptions for first home buyers on properties up to $600,000.

Policy note: Victoria offers off-the-plan concessions that allow buyers to pay stamp duty on the land value only (not the finished value) if purchasing before construction is complete. This can significantly reduce duty on apartments and townhouses. The concession was modified in 2024 — check current eligibility.
Foreign buyer surcharge: Foreign buyers in Victoria pay an 8% surcharge plus an additional 2% absentee owner surcharge on land tax annually. Combined, these add substantially to the cost of property ownership.

Buying in this price range

Properties under $500,000 are typically entry-level — units, apartments, or houses in regional areas and outer suburbs. At this price point, first home buyer concessions and grants have the most impact, potentially eliminating stamp duty entirely in several states. The upfront government costs at this level are a smaller proportion of the purchase price, but still represent a significant cash outlay alongside your deposit.

First Home Buyer relief is strongest here

Most states offer full stamp duty exemption or significant concessions at this price point. NSW exempts purchases under $800,000, VIC under $600,000, QLD under $700,000 (established homes; new homes and vacant land to build have no price cap), and SA (new homes, off-the-plan homes and vacant land to build, with no price cap since June 2024). Always check the specific threshold for your state — small differences in price can mean thousands in savings.

Factor stamp duty into your deposit

Even with concessions, you need cash for transfer and mortgage registration fees, conveyancing, and building inspections. Budget 2-3% of the purchase price for total upfront costs beyond the deposit. On a $400,000 property, that is $8,000-$12,000.

Typical buyers: First home buyers, downsizers, regional buyers, and apartment purchasers in capital cities.
