First home buyers in Queensland
First home buyers pay no duty up to A$700,000, with a reduced concession phasing out by A$800,000. Established first home: home concession rate minus a tapered first-home concession, so duty is $0 up to $700,000 and phases out by $800,000. A first home that is a new home or vacant land (eligible from 1 May 2025) gets a full, uncapped concession.
For example, an eligible first home buyer purchasing a A$650,000 home in Queensland would pay about A$0 — a full exemption. Tick "first home buyer" to apply it.
