Frequently asked questions
How is stamp duty calculated in Queensland?
The QRO scale taxes each slice of the dutiable value at its own rate, rising to $5.75 per $100 above $1,000,000. On a $620,000 purchase you would pay $17,325 on the first $540,000 band plus 4.5 cents per dollar above it.
Do first home buyers pay stamp duty in QLD?
Eligible first home buyers receive a full concession on homes valued up to $700,000, tapering away between $700,000 and $800,000. From 1 August 2026 temporary residents lost access to the home and first home concessions, though New Zealand citizens on 444 visas still qualify.
What is AFAD in Queensland?
Additional foreign acquirer duty is an 8% surcharge on residential land acquired by foreign persons, companies and trustees. It sits on top of standard transfer duty and applies proportionally to the foreign interest in the acquisition.
When is QLD transfer duty payable?
Self-assessors must lodge and pay by the earlier of settlement or 30 days after the liability date. The QRO treats unpaid duty as a debt and adds interest from the day after it falls due.
