Worked example: $750,000

A $750,000 established home in Queensland attracts $26,775.00 duty at the general rate and $19,600.00 for a buyer who will live in it. First home buyer: Partial first home concession for homes from $700,000 to $800,000.

  • From 1 August 2026 the home, first home and vacant land concessions are limited to Australian citizens, permanent residents and specified foreign retirees. Temporary residents pay the standard rate plus the 8% foreign acquirer duty.
  • You must move in within one year and must never have held a residence anywhere in the world to claim the first home concession.
