First-home buyer stamp duty concession (Victoria)

Agency: State Revenue Office Victoria · VIC

Check whether you may qualify for a Victorian first-home buyer duty exemption or concession, and prepare the paperwork for settlement.

Steps

1. Eligibility basics — The State Revenue Office assesses eligibility — this gathers what it looks at.
2. The contract — Details from your contract of sale.
3. Applying — The concession is claimed through Duties Online, usually via your conveyancer.

When to see a professional

Before you sign a contract of sale, or if you are unsure whether you qualify — a conveyancer or property lawyer should review the contract and confirm your duty position. This procedure prepares your paperwork; it is not legal advice on your purchase.
