How duty is worked out in Tasmania
Tasmania calls stamp duty “transfer duty”. It is charged on the higher of the price and the market value, on a sliding scale:
| Property value | Transfer duty |
|---|---|
| Up to $3,000 | $50 |
| $3,001 to $25,000 | $50 plus $1.75 per $100 over $3,000 |
| $25,001 to $75,000 | $435 plus $2.25 per $100 over $25,000 |
| $75,001 to $200,000 | $1,560 plus $3.50 per $100 over $75,000 |
| $200,001 to $375,000 | $5,935 plus $4.00 per $100 over $200,000 |
| $375,001 to $725,000 | $12,935 plus $4.25 per $100 over $375,000 |
| Over $725,000 | $27,810 plus $4.50 per $100 over $725,000 |
Duty is charged for each $100 or part of $100.
First home buyers
The temporary duty exemption for first home buyers of established homes up to $750,000 ended for settlements after 30 June 2026. First home buyers of established homes now budget for full duty. Buyers of new homes may qualify for the $20,000 First Home Owner Grant instead. Check the State Revenue Office for any concession current when you buy.
Why it matters for your loan
Duty comes from your savings, not the loan. Every dollar that goes to duty is a dollar less deposit, which pushes your loan-to-value ratio up and can bring lenders mortgage insurance into play. See how much deposit you need.
