How this is calculated

Duty is worked out from the state revenue office rate table, then any first home or owner-occupier concession you qualify for is applied, and foreign buyer surcharge is added. It assumes one buyer (or all buyers in the same position) buying the whole property; multiple buyers, part shares, mixed-use land, off-the-plan and seniors concessions are not covered. If a foreign buyer wants to use the Home Buyer Concession Scheme, the calculator does not show a figure — please confirm with the ACT Revenue Office.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ACT Home Buyer Concession Scheme?

From 1 July 2026 eligible buyers pay no duty on a home or vacant land at any price, with no income test, if no buyer or partner has held an interest in land in the previous 5 years. You must live there for 12 months, starting within 12 months. Foreign buyers should confirm eligibility with the ACT Revenue Office.

Do foreign buyers pay extra stamp duty in the ACT?

No. The ACT has no foreign buyer duty surcharge; its foreign ownership surcharge is charged through land tax.

Is stamp duty tax deductible on an investment property?

Stamp duty on buying a rental property is generally not an immediate tax deduction. It usually forms part of the property’s cost base, which reduces capital gain when you sell.
