Frequently asked questions — Queensland transfer duty
Do first home buyers pay stamp duty in Queensland?
First home buyers in QLD who purchase an established property under $500,000 may be eligible for a full transfer duty concession. A partial concession applies for purchases between $500,000 and $550,000. For new builds, separate concession rules apply.
When do I pay transfer duty in Queensland?
QLD transfer duty must be paid within 30 days of settlement. Your solicitor or conveyancer will manage this payment as part of the settlement process.
What is the First Home Owner Grant in Queensland?
QLD offers a $15,000 First Home Owner Grant for new builds valued up to $750,000. Eligible buyers must be purchasing or building a new residence as their principal place of abode. Confirm the current amount with the Queensland Revenue Office before applying, as grant amounts are subject to change.
Are there transfer duty concessions for owner-occupiers in Queensland?
Yes. Owner-occupiers (non-first-home-buyers) also receive a concession compared to the general rate. The standard concession applies if you intend to live in the property within 1 year of settlement.
How is transfer duty calculated on properties over $1 million in Queensland?
For properties over $1,000,000, the QLD rate is $38,025 plus 5.75% of the amount above $1,000,000. On a $1.5m property, that is $38,025 + $28,750 = $66,775.
