Queensland first home buyers purchasing a principal place of residence (not investment) receive a transfer duty concession:
Foreign persons purchasing Queensland residential land pay an additional 8% surcharge on the dutiable value, on top of standard transfer duty.
Transfer duty must be paid within 30 days of settlement. Your conveyancer or solicitor will typically arrange this as part of the settlement process.
