Calculation examples
Example #1
Property purchased is $95,000
- Multiply $55,000 by 0.5% (55,000 x 0.005) = $275
- Multiply the amount exceeding $55,000 up to $250,000 by 1.0% (40,000 x 0.01) = $400
Total land transfer tax payable = $675
Example #2
Property purchased is $450,000
- Multiply $55,000 by 0.5% (55,000 x 0.005) = $275
- Multiply the amount exceeding $55,000 up to $250,000 by 1.0% (195,000 x 0.01) = $1,950
- Multiply the amount exceeding $250,000 up to $400,000 by 1.5% (150,000 x 0.015) = $2,250
- Multiply the amount exceeding $400,000 by 2.0% (50,000 x 0.02) = $1,000
