This week the NSW Government announced this week that the stamp duty threshold on new homes for first home buyers has increased from $650,000 to $800,000.
The threshold also increases on vacant land from $350,000 to $400,000
This threshold will be in place for 12 months only from 1 August through to 31 July 2021.
These exemptions will apply for first home buyers purchasing vacant land or a new home. Above these thresholds, concessional stamp duty rates apply to new homes up to $1,000,000 and vacant land up to $500,000.
