Queensland Stamp Duty Calculator & Registration Fee Calculator
Queensland Stamp Duty Calculator
Queensland Stamp duty is essentially a tax on the transfer of property, and more specifically the agreements relating to that transfer. Stamp Duty is payable to the Queensland Government, and is paid by the buyer of the property.
The rate of stamp duty varies, based on a number of factors. Concessions and discounts are applicable under different circumstances; for example, first home buyers pay a lower rate of duty than someone purchasing an investment property. These concessions are built into our Queensland stamp duty calculator, which shows the amount payable depending on your intended use of the Property.
Rates of stamp duty will change from 1 August 2011. Our comprehensive stamp duty calculator (accessed above) allows buyers to calculate the amount of transfer duty they will be required to pay (both before and after the changes on 1 August 2011). This may be a useful comparative tool for buyers currently in the market who wish to make an informed decision about timing their purchase.
Please see Stamp Duty Concessions Explained for further information on the concessions available.
As part of the conveyancing process, KRG Conveyancing will calculate the rate of stamp duty payable by you, we will also work out any concessions or discounts you are eligible for and ensure that the requirements to apply for and receive these concessions are fulfilled.

Queensland Titles Office Registration Fee Calculator
Registration fees are monies payable to the Queensland Department of Environment & Resource Management, incorporating the Titles Office. These fees are payable to ensure documents can be lodged including Transfers and Mortgages which typically signify the final process of conveyancing. Fees are calculated on a sliding scale factored on the purchase price.
When a purchaser of a property engages a bank or financial institution for the purposes of a mortgage borrowing, these fees are normally payable by the Buyer directly to the bank and they complete registration.
