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.

Frequently asked questions
Do first home buyers pay stamp duty in Queensland?
First home buyers of a new home or vacant land to build on pay no transfer duty, with no price cap (contracts from 1 May 2025). For an established home there is no duty up to $700,000 and a reduced amount up to $800,000.
Who can claim the Queensland home concession?
You must move in within 1 year of settlement. From 1 August 2026 the home and first home concessions are only for Australian citizens, permanent residents and specified foreign retirees.
Do foreign buyers pay extra stamp duty in Queensland?
Yes. Foreign persons pay additional foreign acquirer duty (AFAD) of 8% of the value of residential land, on top of transfer duty.
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.
