Calculate Tasmania property transfer duty for owner-occupiers, investors, and first home buyers using current State Revenue Office Tasmania rates.
Property transfer duty in Tasmania is administered by the State Revenue Office Tasmania (SRO Tas) under the Duties Act 2001. Rates step up across five brackets, from nil under $3,000 to 4.75% on the portion above $250,000. Tasmania has the lowest top-bracket rate of any Australian state. The duty is charged on the dutiable value — usually the contract price.
TAS uses the following bracket structure for the standard duty rate:
| Dutiable value | Standard rate |
|---|---|
| $0 – $3,000 | nil |
| $3,001 – $100,000 | $50 + 1.75% over $3,000 |
| $100,001 – $200,000 | $1,750 + 2.25% over $100,000 |
| $200,001 – $375,000 | $4,000 + 3.5% over $200,000 |
| Above $375,000 | $10,125 + 4.5% over $375,000 |
Tasmania does not offer a separate owner-occupier "home concession" — owner-occupiers (other than first home buyers) and investors pay the same standard rates. Tasmania is also unusual in not levying a foreign buyer surcharge, making it one of the few Australian jurisdictions where overseas buyers pay only the standard duty.
Tasmania offers a 50% duty concession for eligible first home buyers purchasing established homes valued up to $750,000. There is no full exemption — first home buyers still pay duty, but at half the standard rate up to the threshold. Above $750,000 standard rates apply with no concession. To qualify you must be 18 or older, never have owned residential property in Australia, occupy the home as your principal place of residence within 12 months for at least six continuous months, and lodge the concession claim through your settlement agent.

Tasmania does not currently levy a foreign buyer surcharge on residential property purchases. Foreign buyers pay only the standard property transfer duty rates with no additional surcharge — making Tasmania one of the few Australian jurisdictions where overseas buyers pay no extra duty.

Tasmanian property transfer duty is charged by the State Revenue Office Tasmania (SRO Tas) on the dutiable value of any property purchase. Rates step up across five brackets, from nil under $3,000 to 4.75% on the portion above $250,000 — the lowest top-bracket rate in Australia. Owner-occupiers and investors pay the same standard rates.
Eligible first home buyers receive a 50% concession on duty payable for established homes up to $750,000. There is no full exemption — first home buyers still pay duty, but at half the standard rate. Above $750,000 standard rates apply with no concession.
Tasmanian property transfer duty is payable within three months of the dutiable transaction. Your conveyancer normally pays SRO Tas at settlement using funds from your loan and deposit. Late payment attracts interest at the rate published by SRO Tas.
No. Tasmania is one of the few Australian jurisdictions that does not currently levy a foreign buyer surcharge on residential property purchases. Foreign buyers pay only the standard transfer duty rates with no additional surcharge. This makes Tasmania notably cheaper for foreign investors than NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, ACT, or NT.
Tasmania has the lowest top-bracket transfer duty rate in Australia (4.75% above $375,000) and no foreign buyer surcharge. Combined with lower median property prices, the absolute dollar amount of duty is significantly less than in mainland states. The first home buyer concession (50% reduction up to $750,000) further reduces the burden for owner-occupier first-time buyers.
No. Stamp duty paid on an investment property in Tasmania is not immediately deductible against rental income. It is added to the cost base of the property and reduces capital gains tax when the property is later sold. Owner-occupiers cannot deduct stamp duty at all.
