Now that we have your attention… If you have recently purchased your first home or are looking to get into the market, then you may be eligible for a 50% discount on your stamp duty costs. Of course, there are a number of eligibility criteria, for example; the property purchased must be under $400,000 and settle between February 7, 2018 and February 6, 2019. You must also be at least 18 years old, not have received a first home owner grant or duty concession before (or have a partner or spouse that has), and you must occupy the residence for a period of at least 6 months, commencing within 12 months of completion of the purchase of the property. If this sounds like you, then head over to the State Revenue Office website and submit your application today!(https://www.sro.tas.gov.au/Documents/Section_46E_Concession_from_duty-Transfer_to_first_home_buyers_of_an_established_home.pdf)
