This tool is designed to help you determine how much transfer duty you may need to pay. It does not replace the formal application and assessment process and is not a substitute for professional advice.

To claim one of the home concessions or the vacant land concession, there are specific eligibility criteria you must meet.
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 and multiple concession claims.

Use this tool only where:

there is 1 transaction
none of the buyers are foreign persons (including companies and trusts) for the purposes of additional foreign acquirer duty.

Additional foreign acquirer duty (AFAD)

Residential property
AFAD is an extra 8% of duty that applies to foreign persons acquiring property in Queensland. Find out more about AFAD.

So that we can give you an estimate, we need to understand a few details of your circumstances. Answer the questions below.

Transaction details – Step 1 of 3

Is one of the buyers a foreign person? *

Foreign person

A foreign person for additional foreign acquirer duty (AFAD) includes:

foreign individuals

You are a foreign individual if you are not an Australian citizen or permanent resident. A permanent resident holds a permanent visa, or is a New Zealand citizen with a special category visa, as defined by the Migration Act 1958 (Cwlth).
