Frequently asked questions
How does Tasmania's 50% stamp duty discount work for first home buyers?
Unlike most other states that offer full exemptions below certain thresholds, Tasmania provides a 50% discount on stamp duty for all first home buyer purchases regardless of property value. This means you always pay half the standard duty rate, which can be significant for higher-value properties.
Can I get both the 50% duty discount and the $30,000 FHOG in Tasmania?
Yes, if you are buying or building a new home valued up to $600,000, you can receive both the 50% stamp duty discount and the $30,000 First Home Owner Grant. For existing homes, you still get the 50% duty discount but not the FHOG.
Is Tasmania's $30,000 grant permanent?
The $30,000 FHOG for new homes in Tasmania has been extended multiple times. Check the Tasmanian Government's website for the current end date, as the amount and availability can change with state budgets.
