Buying in Canberra

Stamp duty for a Canberra home

There's no separate Canberra stamp duty rate. Australian Capital Territory sets one duty scale for the whole state, so a Canberra buyer pays the same as a buyer anywhere else in Australian Capital Territory at the same price. For the full rate table, the concessions that might apply, and a worked example, see the Australian Capital Territory stamp duty page.
