Queensland Stamp Duty FAQs
How much is stamp duty on a $700,000 home in Queensland?
Standard transfer duty on a $700,000 established home in Queensland is $24,525. First home buyers and owner-occupiers usually pay less — set those options in the calculator above for your figure.
When do you pay stamp duty in Queensland?
Transfer duty is a one-off cost paid around settlement, not an annual tax. Your conveyancer usually pays it to Queensland Revenue Office as part of settlement, so budget for it on top of your deposit.
Is stamp duty charged on the price or the property value in Queensland?
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.
Do first home buyers pay stamp duty in Queensland?
Eligible first home buyers of a new home pay no duty, with no value cap. For an established first home, duty is nil up to $700,000 and phases in to $800,000. New-home buyers may also receive the $30,000 First Home Owner Grant for an eligible new-home transaction. For transactions from 1 August 2026, every transferee, lessee, vested person or beneficiary claiming a Queensland home concession must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident or specified foreign retiree. This calculator shows full duty when that joint test is not confirmed; partial-interest assessments and foreign purchaser surcharge duty are outside this estimate.
What is the QLD home concession?
An eligible buyer purchasing a home to live in — not just a first home buyer — can claim the home concession, a lower rate on the first $350,000 of value. Switch on "I'll live in this home" and choose the buyer status to test it. For transactions from 1 August 2026, every transferee, lessee, vested person or beneficiary claiming a Queensland home concession must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident or specified foreign retiree. This calculator shows full duty when that joint test is not confirmed; partial-interest assessments and foreign purchaser surcharge duty are outside this estimate.
What's the difference between the home concession and the first home concession?
The home concession is open to eligible owner-occupiers and discounts the rate on the first $350,000 of value. The first home concession stacks on top for eligible first home buyers — nil duty on established homes up to $700,000 and on new homes at any price. Duty rates are state-wide across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and regional Queensland, while transaction date and buyer status determine concession eligibility. For transactions from 1 August 2026, every transferee, lessee, vested person or beneficiary claiming a Queensland home concession must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident or specified foreign retiree. This calculator shows full duty when that joint test is not confirmed; partial-interest assessments and foreign purchaser surcharge duty are outside this estimate.
Is this the same as the OSR / QRO stamp duty calculator?
It applies the same published transfer duty rates. The Office of State Revenue (OSR) was renamed the Queensland Revenue Office (QRO), which publishes the official rates and runs formal assessments — this calculator mirrors its current scale, home concession and first home concession so you can estimate duty before settlement.
How much is stamp duty on commercial or investment property in Queensland?
Commercial property and investment homes use the standard transfer duty scale — from 1.5% up to 5.75% on the top band — with no home concession. Leave "I'll live in this home" switched off in the calculator to see the investor figure.
