NT stamp duty rates
For a dutiable value up to $525,000, the NT uses a formula rather than rate bands:
D = 0.06571441 × V² + 15V
where D is the duty and V is the dutiable value divided by 1,000. Above $525,000, flat rates apply to the whole value:
| Dutiable value | Duty payable |
|---|---|
| $525,000 – $3,000,000 | 4.95% of the total value |
| $3,000,000 – $5,000,000 | 5.75% of the total value |
| $5,000,000 and above | 5.95% of the total value |

Is stamp duty charged on the price or the property value in NT?
On the dutiable value — the greater of the purchase price and the property's market value. For a normal arm's-length sale that's just the contract price; a below-market or gifted transfer is assessed at market value.
