🌳 Do you pay stamp duty on land?

Yes, you do. But land is often cheaper than a house, so the stamp duty may be lower. For example, in Queensland, you could get a discount if you’re buying vacant land under $400,000 to build a home.

🏢 Do I pay stamp duty on an investment property?

Yes. Stamp duty still applies. It might cost more depending on your state. Always check what your state charges for investment properties.
