Frequently asked questions
How is stamp duty calculated in South Australia?
South Australian stamp duty is progressive, from 1% up to 5.5% above $500,000. There is no separate owner occupier scale. The calculator applies the current RevenueSA rate table to the purchase price.
Do first home buyers pay stamp duty in South Australia?
Only on established homes. If you are a first home buyer building or buying a new home, or buying vacant land to build on, you pay no stamp duty, with no price cap. Established homes get no first home relief in South Australia, so full duty applies.
How much extra do foreign buyers pay in South Australia?
Foreign purchasers pay a 7% surcharge on residential land value, on top of standard duty. The calculator adds it when you switch on the foreign buyer toggle.
