## Data

- Transfer duty on the same purchase, NSW, Victoria and Queensland, 2026. Methodology: Each figure is computed from the official rate table published by that state's revenue office, read on 15 August 2026: Revenue NSW 2026/27 transfer duty rates, the State Revenue Office Victoria general (non principal place of residence) land transfer duty rates, and the Queensland Revenue Office transfer duty rates. Amounts in Australian dollars. These are general rates with no first home, pensioner or principal place of residence concession applied, and they exclude foreign purchaser surcharges. Queensland duty is charged per $100 or part of $100. Our Queensland method reproduces QRO's own published worked example exactly, and Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory are deliberately not shown because we have not verified their current schedules: use your own revenue office's calculator.
