Stamp (transfer) duty is a state tax charged on the price of a property. Rates are progressive: in NSW, for example, $11,152 plus 4.5% of the amount over $372,000.
First home buyers pay little or nothing: NSW has no duty up to $800,000, Victoria up to $600,000 and Queensland up to $700,000 (new homes with no limit). Victoria and Queensland also have cheaper rates for owner-occupiers. Foreign buyers pay a 7–9% surcharge.

Lenders may let you borrow for it, but it raises your loan-to-value ratio and may trigger LMI.
