Key points
- Duty depends on dutiable value and eligibility for concessions.
- ACT has unique concessions and programs; check current details.
Current concessions and surcharges
- From 1 July 2026, the ACT Home Buyer Concession Scheme no longer has the former property price cap or income threshold.
- Eligible buyers may pay $0 conveyance duty on an eligible home or vacant land purchase, but the scheme’s applicant, previous-ownership and occupation requirements still apply.
- Use the current ACT Revenue Office calculator and eligibility guidance for the transaction date and buyer circumstances.
Worked example — $600,000 non-owner-occupier property
For a $600,000 non-owner-occupier property, the dutiable value falls within the $500,001 to $750,000 bracket.
- Rate formula: $11,400 + $4.32 per $100, or part thereof, over $500,000
- Amount over threshold: $600,000 − $500,000 = $100,000
- Duty on excess: $100,000 ÷ $100 × $4.32 = $4,320
- Total conveyance duty: $11,400 + $4,320 = $15,720
This example uses the general non-owner-occupier conveyance duty rate. From 1 July 2026, an eligible buyer under the Home Buyer Concession Scheme may instead receive a full duty concession and pay $0 conveyance duty.
