Understanding QLD Stamp Duty
Everything you need to know about transfer duty in Queensland
How much is stamp duty in QLD?
Queensland transfer duty is calculated on a tiered rate system based on your property's purchase price:
$0 - $5,000: Nil
$5,001 - $75,000: $1.50 per $100 (above $5,000)
$75,001 - $540,000: $1,050 + $3.50 per $100 (above $75,000)
$540,001 - $1,000,000: $17,325 + $4.50 per $100 (above $540,000)
Over $1,000,000: $38,025 + $5.75 per $100 (above $1,000,000)
For example, stamp duty on a $750,000 property is $18,900.
What concessions are available for first home buyers?
Queensland offers generous concessions for first home buyers:
New homes or vacant land: Full stamp duty concession (zero duty) with no price cap.
Established homes under $710,000: Full concession making your stamp duty zero (saving up to $17,350).
Established homes $710,000 - $799,999: Partial concession on a graduated scale.
Established homes $800,000+: No concession available. You pay the standard transfer duty rate.
What is the First Home Owner Grant?
The Queensland First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) provides $30,000 towards buying or building a new home valued at less than $750,000.
Amount: $30,000 cash grant
Eligibility: New homes, substantially renovated homes, or building a new home
Price cap: Property must be under $750,000
Extended: Until 30 June 2026
Not available: For established (existing) homes
This grant is in addition to any stamp duty concession.
How can a buyers agent reduce your stamp duty?
Because stamp duty is calculated on the purchase price, paying less for a property means paying less stamp duty.
Our average negotiation saving of $65,000 doesn't just save you the purchase price difference. It also reduces your stamp duty by $2,275 to $3,738 depending on the price bracket.
For example: On a $750,000 property, we might negotiate to $685,000, saving you $65,000 on the price PLUS $2,275 in stamp duty. That's a total saving of over $67,000.
