Keep this TAS number for tax time
Stamp duty adds to your CGT cost base, so it lowers the tax you pay when you eventually sell. Vestly stores it against the property and tracks cashflow, depreciation, and deductions across your whole portfolio.

How TAS stamp duty works
Tasmanian property transfer duty is administered by the State Revenue Office Tasmania (SRO Tas). Rates have been unchanged since 21 October 2013, making Tasmania one of the cheapest states for higher-value purchases relative to NSW and VIC.

Worked example
A Tasmanian investor buying a $550,000 residential property in Hobart pays approximately $20,373 in TAS stamp duty (before any first-home buyer concession or foreign-acquirer surcharge).
First-home buyer concessions
First-home buyers pay 50% reduced duty on established homes up to $750,000. From mid-2024, FHBs purchasing or building a new home pay no duty (no upper price cap).
Foreign buyer surcharge
Foreign buyers pay an additional 8% Foreign Investor Duty Surcharge on residential property and 1.5% on commercial land.
TAS-specific quirks
Tasmania has no premium / cliff brackets at the top end - the schedule is purely marginal throughout. Combined with rates unchanged since 2013, Tas is competitive for $700k+ investor purchases.
Common questions
When is Tasmanian stamp duty payable?
Within 3 months of the contract date. PEXA e-conveyancing handles payment for most transactions.
How is TAS stamp duty calculated for a $550,000 investor purchase?
Sitting in the $375,001 - $725,000 bracket: $12,935 + 4.25% of ($550,000 - $375,000) = $12,935 + $7,437.50 = $20,372.50.
Is there an off-the-plan concession in Tasmania?
No general off-the-plan concession. FHB new-build duty exemption is the main concession available.
What is the Tasmanian Foreign Investor Duty Surcharge?
8% on residential property and 1.5% on commercial / primary production land, on top of the general duty.
Does Tasmania have a pensioner concession?
A 50% concession applies to pensioners downsizing from a home they have owned for at least 10 years, capped to $750,000 sale price.
Why is Tasmania cheaper for high-value purchases?
The top marginal rate is 4.5% (no premium bracket), versus 5.5%-7% in NSW/VIC. The schedule has not been updated since 2013, so bracket creep favours buyers as prices rise.
