What a first home buyer or owner-occupier pays
The Territory currently has no first-home stamp-duty concession on its published duty exemptions list — its home-buyer help runs through grant programs (home owner incentives) instead, which change from time to time. First home buyers pay standard conveyance duty unless a current incentive says otherwise; check the Territory Revenue Office for what is on offer. First home buyer duty in NT →
