Key Notes for TAS
Tasmania has the lowest stamp duty rates overall in Australia, with a top marginal rate of just 4.5%. The picture for first home buyers changed on 1 July 2026, though: the generous 100% duty exemption on established homes ended without replacement, and the FHOG for new homes dropped from $30,000 to $20,000. Tasmania's low general rates still help, but the state no longer stands out for first-home-buyer concessions the way it did in 2024-2026.
