About stamp duty in QLD
QRO publishes a general rate and a home concession. The home concession is the usual owner-occupier schedule for an established or new residence. Vacant land does not get that concession.
From 1 May 2025, a first-home buyer of a new home can pay $0 transfer duty in the cases this calculator models. An established home is $0 to $700,000, then a linear extra concession that runs out at $800,000, after which the home concession alone applies.
Titles QLD’s transfer of one lot is $248.04, plus $46.56 for each $10,000 or part thereof of consideration above $180,000.

- On a new home, this calculator shows $0. On an established home it is $0 to $700,000, then a phase that is gone at $800,000. You must live in the property. An investment purchase uses the general table.
