First-home buyers have special concessional rates and exemptions:
- No stamp duty for homes valued up to $500,000 (up from $450,000).
- Concessional rates apply for homes valued between $500,000 and $700,000 in metropolitan areas and between $500,000 and $750,000 outside these areas.
- For vacant land, no stamp duty applies up to $350,000, with concessional rates for values between $350,000 and $450,000.
These rates apply generally, but the exact amount depends on the property type, location, and eligibility for concessions like first-home buyer status or pensioner concessions.
