What sets our calculator apart is its updated rates for 2024, ensuring accuracy in your estimations.

Understanding stamp duty is crucial. It's a tax levied by state and territory governments on various transactions, including property acquisitions, motor vehicle registrations, insurance policies, mortgages, etc. The amount payable varies across jurisdictions and is often referred to as transfer or general duty.

How our Calculator Works - Make It Easy For Yourself!

Our online tool makes calculating your stamp duty obligation straightforward. You must input the execution date (contract exchange date) of the property or business transaction and the purchase price or valuation price.

It's important to note that the purchaser is responsible for paying stamp duty, typically within three months of the liability arising. The liability arises upon exchanging the sales contract for purchases of existing properties. However, for 'off the plan' sales, the liability may arise upon completion of the agreement, assignment of the purchaser's interest, or after 12 months from the agreement date.

In addition to estimating stamp duty costs, our calculator highlights potential grants, concessions, or exemptions you may be eligible for, providing comprehensive insight into your financial obligations.
