Common questions
- How much is stamp duty on a $300,000 property in Queensland?
- Transfer duty is $8,925 at the QLD general rate for a $300,000 property, calculated from the Queensland Revenue Office schedule. An owner-occupier who lives in the home pays $3,000. As a first home buyer, this purchase is exempt — you would pay $0.
- Is stamp duty paid on top of the purchase price?
- Yes. The $8,925 duty is separate from the $300,000 price and is normally paid at settlement. On a 20% deposit of $60,000, budget for the duty as an additional upfront cost.
- What deposit and loan do I need for a $300,000 home?
- A 20% deposit is $60,000, leaving a $240,000 loan (about $1,438.92 a month at 6% over 30 years, no LMI). With a 10% deposit of $30,000 the loan is $270,000 and indicative LMI is around $2,970.
- Do foreign buyers pay extra duty in Queensland?
- Foreign purchasers usually pay an additional surcharge on top of transfer duty. It is charged separately from the $8,925 owner-occupier figure — confirm the current surcharge rate with Queensland Revenue Office.
