FAQ

What about the Victorian property tax?

First home buyers with properties under $1 million can opt into the new Victorian Property Tax scheme (annual payments instead of upfront duty). This calculator shows traditional stamp duty - speak to your conveyancer about which option suits you.

Does the foreign purchaser surcharge apply?

Australian citizens and permanent residents are exempt. Temporary residents and foreign buyers pay an additional 8% surcharge on top of standard duty.
