How Stamp Duty Works in Tasmania
Stamp duty in Tasmania is calculated using 7 progressive brackets, with rates ranging from a $50 minimum charge on the first $3,000 up to 4.5% on amounts over $725,000. Tasmania has the lowest top rate of any Australian state, making it one of the more affordable states for stamp duty on higher-value properties.
Tasmanian stamp duty is administered by the State Revenue Office Tasmania (part of the Department of Treasury and Finance). The duty is payable within three months of the transaction date. Your conveyancer handles the calculation and payment through the settlement process.
