WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT VICTORIA’S STAMP DUTY
                     WHAT YOU 
SHOULD 
KNOW ABOUT 
VICTORIA’S 
STAMP DUTY
Victorians confront a 
significant initial hurdle 
to the real estate market 
because their state has 
some of the highest 
stamp duty rates in the 
nation. 
DESCRIBE 
STAMP DUTY
When you purchase or 
receive a property, the 
state of Victoria levies a 
tax known as stamp duty, 
or land transfer duty. 
HOW MUCH STAMP 
DUTY IS CHARGED IN 
VICTORIA, AND HOW 
IS IT DETERMINED?  
The amount of land transfer 
duty you must pay is 
determined using a sliding 
scale. This is based on the 
dutiable value of your 
property.  
WHAT DOES 
DUTIABLE 
VALUE MEAN
A property’s dutiable value 
is the higher of the price 
you paid for it or its 
market value. This implies 
that stamp duty will still be 
due by anyone who 
received a property as a 
gift, acquired it through a 
trust, or purchased it for a 
large discount.
