Home transfer duty concession rates
These home concession rates reduce the amount of transfer (stamp) duty you pay when you acquire land that you’ll use as your home.
From 1 May 2025, first home buyers who enter into a contract to purchase a new home to live in (or vacant land on which to build a home to live in) will be able to apply for a full transfer duty concession (reducing the duty to nil). This will become law upon royal assent.
This page will be updated before 1 May.
When you have land in Queensland transferred to you that you’ll use as your home, you may be able to claim a concession that reduces the amount of transfer (stamp) duty you have to pay.
When you claim a duty concession for land you’ll use as your home, you apply the concession rate to the dutiable value of the property.
Below are the rates for the home, first home and first home vacant land concessions. (The transfer duty rates apply if you’re not eligible for a concession or exemption.)
There are no additional concessions or exemptions for seniors card or pensioner concession card holders.
Additional duty of 8% applies to acquisitions of residential land by foreign persons (including companies and trusts). Find out more about the additional foreign acquirer duty.
To calculate the first home concession, you first use the home concession rate and then subtract the first home concession amount.

Example
You sign an agreement to buy a house in Queensland that will be your first home. The amount you agree to pay is $695,000. You will occupy the home immediately after settlement, so you claim a first home concession for the transfer duty.
Because the value of the home is within the $540,000 to $1,000,000 range of the home concession rate, duty is first assessed at $10,150 plus $4.50 for each $100, or part of $100, over $540,000. The first home concession amount is then subtracted from the result.
This is how the duty is calculated:
$10,150 (for the first $540,000)
+ $6,975 ($4.50 for every $100 in $155,000, the balance above $540,000)
= $17,125 (the transfer duty using the home concession rate)
– $17,350 (the first home concession amount for homes valued less than $709,999.99)
= $0 (no transfer duty is payable when a first home concession is claimed on a home valued $700,000 or less)
