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