Australian Capital Territory stamp duty calculator
The ACT has two tables: an owner occupier rate, 8,408 on a 500,000 home, and a higher rate for other buyers, 11,400 on the same price. Above 1,455,000 both switch to a flat 4.54% of the whole price. Since 1 July 2026 the Home Buyer Concession removes duty for an eligible buyer who has held no interest in land for 5 years, with no income test and no price cap. The ACT adds no foreign purchaser surcharge to duty; its foreign charge is a land tax.
