The ACT Home Buyer Concession Scheme provides stamp duty exemptions for eligible first-time buyers, with savings scaling based on the property value up to a specific concession threshold. You must meet residency, citizenship, income, and occupancy requirements to qualify.

ACT first-home stamp duty exemptions require buyers to meet specific citizenship status, residency, income cap, and occupancy requirements. Eligible buyers must gather documentation proving they satisfy these thresholds before applying through the ACT Revenue Office.

To apply for the Home Buyer Concession Scheme, follow the step-by-step application flow through the ACT Revenue Office by submitting required evidence verifying your eligibility, residency, citizenship, income, and occupancy status for the property purchase.

The ACT does not offer a First Home Owner Grant for property purchases in Canberra. Instead, eligible first-home buyers access stamp duty savings and concessions through the Home Buyer Concession Scheme administered by the ACT Revenue Office.

Stamp duty savings under the ACT Home Buyer Concession Scheme scale with the property value, offering full exemptions up to the concession threshold and gradually reducing savings for properties valued above that limit. Eligibility still depends on meeting income requirements.

Required documentation for ACT first-home buyer concessions includes evidence verifying your citizenship status, residency, income cap compliance, and occupancy intentions. You must submit these documents during the application process through the ACT Revenue Office.
