Stamp duty is levied by the Treasurer of the States on every contract passed before Court and Land Transaction Tax (LTT) is levied by the Comptroller of Income Tax on the transfer of any share in a share transfer company to which a specific right to occupy a residential unit is provided. The duty or tax is payable by the party acquiring the property (whether by purchase, lease or gift) and is not payable by the party who is disposing of the property. Stamp duty and LTT are also payable on all loans secured against the property or the shares. Stamp duty is payable on the value of the realty but not the contents.

It should be noted that various levels of discount are applicable in respect of stamp duty or LTT in some cases where the purchaser is a first time buyer. If you are a first time buyer, please use our First Time buyers calculator below.
