Transfer duty home concession eligibility tester

Use this tester to find out if you’re eligible for a concession to reduce the transfer (stamp) duty payable on your home.

On this page:

    You may be able to claim a transfer (stamp) duty concession if you are acquiring a home to live in or vacant land on which you intend to build your first home. Use the interactive help below to determine if you are eligible for a home, first home, first home (new home) or first home vacant land transfer duty concession.

    This tool is designed to help you determine your eligibility for a concession—it does not replace the formal application and assessment process. You may need to repay all or part of the concession if certain conditions are not met.

    • To be eligible, you were an Australian citizen, permanent resident or specified foreign retiree at the time the agreement was entered into, if it was entered into on or after 1 August 2026. This doesn’t apply to transactions entered into before 1 August 2026.
    • Provided you qualify, you can claim a concession on your interest (or share), whether or not other acquirers also qualify for a concession. Not every person acquiring the property needs to qualify for a concession or apply for the same concession.
    • For two or more acquirers, the calculations can be complex, so use the transfer duty calculator to see what you might pay when there are mixed concession claims.
    • You will not be eligible for a concession if you demolish the existing home before living there as your principal place of residence.

    Answer the following questions to determine your eligibility for a home concession.

    Step 1 of 2
    A substantially renovated home is a home where:
    • the sale or lease of the home under the transaction is, under the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cwlth), a taxable supply as a sale or supply of new residential premises as defined under section 40-75(1)(b) of that Act
    • the home, as renovated, has not been previously occupied or sold as a place of residence.
