Do You Pay Stamp Duty on House and Land Packages in Victoria?

Are you looking to buy a house and land package in Victoria? If so, you may be
wondering if you need to pay stamp duty. It’s an important question to ask, as
stamp duty can be a significant cost when buying a property.

In this blog post, we’ll explain what stamp duty is, how it works in Victoria,
and whether you need to pay it when buying a house and land package.

What is Stamp Duty?

Stamp duty is a tax that is paid when you purchase a property. It’s a one-off
payment that is calculated based on the value of the property. The amount of
stamp duty you pay depends on the state or territory you’re buying in, as each
state and territory has its own stamp duty rates and thresholds.

In Victoria, stamp duty is administered by the State Revenue Office (SRO). The
SRO is responsible for collecting stamp duty on all property transactions in the
state.

Do You Pay Stamp Duty on House and Land Packages in Victoria?

Yes, you do need to pay stamp duty on house and land packages in Victoria. The
amount of stamp duty you pay will depend on the value of the property.

The SRO has a calculator that you can use to work out how much stamp duty you
need to pay. You can find the calculator here.

When you’re buying a house and land package, you’ll need to pay stamp duty on
both the land and the house. The stamp duty rate for land is different to the
stamp duty rate for the house, so you’ll need to calculate the stamp duty for
both separately.

The SRO also offers a range of concessions and exemptions that you may be
eligible for. These can help to reduce the amount of stamp duty you need to pay.

For example, if you’re a first home buyer, you may be eligible for the First
Home Owner Grant. This grant can provide up to $20,000 towards the purchase of a
new home.

You may also be eligible for a stamp duty concession if you’re buying a property
that is valued at less than $600,000. This concession can reduce the amount of
stamp duty you need to pay by up to $8,000.

It’s important to note that these concessions and exemptions are only available
in certain circumstances. You should check with the SRO to see if you’re
eligible for any of these concessions or exemptions.

Conclusion

Buying a house and land package in Victoria can be a great way to get into the
property market. However, it’s important to remember that you need to pay stamp
duty on the purchase. The amount of stamp duty you need to pay will depend on
the value of the property.

The SRO has a calculator that you can use to work out how much stamp duty you
need to pay. You may also be eligible for a range of concessions and exemptions
that can help to reduce the amount of stamp duty you need to pay.
