Buying in Sydney

Stamp duty for a Sydney home

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