How does stamp duty work when I buy a home in Australia?
Stamp duty in Australia is a one-off tax charged by the state or territory on the transfer. You typically pay it within 30 days of settlement. The amount depends on where the home is, its value, and your circumstances. There is no single national figure. A first home buyer may have an exemption, a rebate, or a concession in that state or territory. Moneysmart points each state and territory to its own calculator. This page does not say what you will pay.
