Buying in Perth

Stamp duty for a Perth home

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