NT stamp duty rates
Up to $525,000 the NT uses a formula rather than brackets. Above $525,000 duty is 4.95% of the whole value.
| Property value | Duty |
|---|---|
| Over $0 | $0 |
Up to $525,000: duty = (0.06571441 × V²) + 15V, where V is the value divided by 1,000. From $525,000 to under $3,000,000: 4.95% of the whole value; to under $5,000,000: 5.75%; $5,000,000 and over: 5.95%.
