Can I get both the Tasmanian FHOG and the 50% duty discount?

No — the $10,000 FHOG applies only to new builds, and the 50% duty discount applies only to established homes. You receive whichever applies to your purchase type, not both.

Is the Tasmanian duty discount the same on vacant land?

No — vacant land does not attract the 50% discount on its own. The discount is restricted to established residential property occupied as a principal place of residence.

What if I buy a $700,000 new build in Tasmania?

You receive the $10,000 FHOG (price is under $750k) plus full standard stamp duty on the purchase — Tasmania does not offer an exemption on new-build duty, only the cash grant.

Is the Tasmanian FHOG paid before or after settlement?

If you apply via an approved lender, the grant is paid into the loan account at settlement and used to reduce the cash you bring. If you apply directly, payment usually arrives within four weeks of approval.
