Worked through
A residential purchase at $1,800,000, by a company or a trust.
| Buyer's Stamp Duty (everyone pays this) | $59,600 |
|---|---|
| ABSD on a first residential property | $1,170,000 |
| Total stamp duty on a first purchasePayable within 14 days of the document being signed. | $1,229,600 |
ABSD here is a flat percentage of the full price and does not step with the number of properties owned — $1,170,000 on the first purchase and on every one after it.
