Frequently asked questions — Victoria transfer duty
Do first home buyers pay stamp duty in Victoria?
No — first home buyers in Victoria pay no land transfer duty on purchases up to $600,000. Between $600,000 and $750,000 a partial concession applies. Above $750,000 the full rate applies.
When do I pay stamp duty in Victoria?
Victoria's land transfer duty is due within 30 days of settlement. It is typically managed by your conveyancer and deducted at settlement.
What is the First Home Owner Grant in Victoria?
Victoria offers a $10,000 First Home Owner Grant for new builds valued up to $750,000. Regional buyers may be eligible for a $20,000 grant. This applies to newly built properties only — not existing residences.
Are pensioners or concession card holders eligible for reduced stamp duty in Victoria?
Yes. Pensioners with a concession card purchasing a property valued up to $750,000 as their primary residence may receive a 50% reduction in transfer duty.
Can I negotiate stamp duty into my purchase price?
No — transfer duty is a government charge on the contract price and cannot be negotiated. However, where a property is priced near a threshold (e.g., $600,000 for the FHB exemption), negotiating below that figure can yield significant savings.
