Cover image for What is Stamp Duty on Purchase of Property in Victoria?

Buying a property in Victoria, Australia, is an exciting but complex endeavor. One crucial factor to consider when making a purchase is the amount of stamp duty you will be required to pay. Stamp duty is a tax levied by the Victorian government on certain property transactions, and understanding its implications is essential before committing to a purchase.

In Victoria, stamp duty is calculated based on the purchase price of the property and is payable to the State Revenue Office (SRO). The specific amount of stamp duty you will need to pay depends on several factors, including the type of property, its purchase price, and its location.

For residential property purchases in Victoria, the stamp duty rates are as follows:

- For properties valued up to $600,000, the stamp duty rate is 2.4%.
- For properties valued between $600,001 and $750,000, the stamp duty rate is 3.2%.
- For properties valued between $750,001 and $1 million, the stamp duty rate is 3.5%.
- For properties valued over $1 million, the stamp duty rate is 4.5%.

Additionally, there are other charges that may apply, such as a first home buyer duty exemption, a transfer duty surcharge, and a foreign purchaser duty surcharge. These additional charges can impact the overall stamp duty amount.

It is important to note that stamp duty is only applicable to residential property purchases in Victoria. If you are buying a commercial property, the stamp duty rate differs.

When planning to purchase a property in Victoria, it is crucial to account for the cost of stamp duty in your budget. Stamp duty can quickly add up, significantly impacting the overall cost of the property transaction.
