FAQs

What is the current stamp duty rate in Tasmania?

Stamp duty in Tasmania is calculated on a sliding scale according to your property value.

The table below shows the rates for owner-occupied properties.

Value of the property Stamp duty rate
$3,000 or less $50
$3,001 - $25,000 $50 plus $1.75 for every $100, or part thereof, over $3,000
$25,001 - $75,000 $435 plus $2.25 for every $100, or part thereof, over $25,000
$75,001 - $200,000 $1,560 plus $3.50 for every $100, or part thereof, over $75,000
$200,000 - $375,000 $5,935 plus $4.00 for every $100, or part thereof, over $200,000
$375,000 - $725,000 $12,935 plus $4.25 for every $100, or part thereof, over $375 000
More than $725,000 $27,810 plus $4.50 for every $100, or part thereof, over $725 000

The above will not apply for investment properties. If you are a first home buyer, you may be eligible for additional concessions.

What are transfer fees and mortgage registration fees?

Transfer registration fees, also known as transfer fees, are required to register the transfer of titles. In Tasmania, this is a flat fee of $233.18.

Mortgage registration fees are also required if you are financing your purchase with a home loan. This is also a flat fee, which is $152.19.

These numbers are current as of July 2023, and will remain in place for the 2023-2024 financial year.

Are there any discounts for first home buyers?

Yes, Tasmania has a first home buyer concession, for established properties up to $600,000. This reduces your stamp duty by 50%.

The eligibility criteria are:

  • It must be an established home
  • The property must be valued at $600,000 or less
  • The property must be purchased between 1 January 2022 and 30 June 2023
  • At least one applicant must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident
  • You must be at least 18
  • You (and your partner, if you have one) must not have owned property in Australia
  • You must live in the property as your primary residence for 6 months continuously, within 12 months of purchase
  • You must not have received the First Home Owners Grant in any state or territory of Australia.
What is a foreign owner, and is there additional duty for foreign owners?

Tasmania has a foreign purchaser duty surcharge, calculated as 8% of the property value.

You are not considered a foreign owner if you are any of the following:

  • an Australian citizen
  • a permanent resident
  • a New Zealand citizen with a special category visa.

In Tasmania, if you are a foreign owner jointly purchasing with your non-foreign owner partner, you may be exempt from paying the foreign owner duty. This requires the home to be an existing home, and to be a primary place of residence within 6 months of purchase. Different criteria applies for vacant land.

Please note that you may be subject to other costs, in addition to this duty surcharge.
