Tasmania stamp duty calculator
Tasmania offers 50% FHB concession up to $750K — not a full exemption, but meaningful on a median-priced Hobart home. 3% foreign investor duty. Stamp duty in Tasmania is the lowest of the three smaller states on a dollar basis, reflecting lower median prices rather than lower rates.

Tasmania — frequently asked
The questions TAS buyers actually ask.
How much is stamp duty on a $1 million home in Tasmania?+
Standard stamp duty on a $1,000,000 purchase in Tasmania is approximately $40,185. First home buyers receive 50% concession (not full exemption) on eligible purchases up to $750,000. Foreign purchasers pay 3% additional duty — the lowest foreign surcharge rate in AU.
What's the Tasmania first home buyer concession?+
50% duty concession on established-property purchases up to $750,000 for eligible first home buyers. Not a full exemption. Above $750K no FHB relief applies. The concession pairs with a $10K First Home Owner Grant for new builds.
Why is Tasmania's foreign surcharge only 3%?+
Tasmania introduced foreign investor duty later (2018) than mainland states and at a lower rate to balance attracting foreign buyers (small population + tourism economy) with revenue generation. The rate has been 3% since introduction; political appetite to raise it has been low.
Is the TAS first home buyer concession only for established homes?+
The 50% concession applies to established homes. New-build first home buyers get the $10,000 First Home Owner Grant instead (the two are mutually exclusive; you choose one). Above the $750K cap neither benefit applies.
Does Tasmania have a pensioner stamp duty concession?+
Yes — eligible pensioners downsizing from a long-held PPOR to a smaller home of equal or lesser value can claim a 50% duty concession (Pensioner Duty Concession). Eligibility requires Pensioner Concession Card holder status, age 60+, and PPOR-to-PPOR transfer within prescribed timeframe.
Can I refund TAS stamp duty if my contract falls through?+
Yes — refunds available where the contract is cancelled or rescinded before transfer (Section 220 Duties Act 2001 TAS). Apply via the State Revenue Office Tasmania with executed cancellation deed. Typical processing 4-6 weeks.
How does Tasmania treat off-the-plan apartments?+
Tasmania does not offer a general off-the-plan duty concession. New-build first home buyers receive the $10,000 First Home Owner Grant; off-the-plan investor purchases attract full standard duty. Tasmanian off-the-plan supply is small relative to mainland markets.
Are Tasmania stamp duty rates same for vacant land?+
Yes — vacant land attracts standard transfer duty rates. FHB-grant eligibility on new builds applies where the buyer purchases vacant land + builds a new PPOR within prescribed timeframes (typically 18 months). Investor-bought vacant land has no FHB benefit.
Does TAS still have land tax on top of stamp duty?+
Yes — Tasmania levies annual land tax on landholdings above the tax-free threshold ($100,000 as of 2025-26). PPOR is exempt. Investor land tax thresholds are lower than other states; portfolio investors hit the threshold quickly.
Can spouses transfer a Tasmanian PPOR without paying duty?+
Transfers between spouses or de facto partners on a PPOR can be exempt under the Duties Act 2001 (TAS). Investment property spouse-transfers attract full duty unless under a court-ordered Family Court settlement (separate exemption).
