Not modelled for NSW: foreign purchaser surcharge, vacant land scales, and the $20 minimum duty. Thresholds are indexed to CPI each 1 July, so this table has a twelve-month life.

What this does not tell you · It excludes foreign purchaser surcharges, off-the-plan and pensioner concessions, strata disbursements, and any lender fee.
