Using the Smokeball Stamp Duty Calculator
Smokeball’s Stamp Duty Calculator will check the following information from your matter to calculate the FHOG amount:
- if an Unconditional Date has been entered, and if so it will use this date;
- if no Unconditional Date is entered, it will use the Contract Date;
- if no dates are selected, it will assume today’s date;
- the entered dutiable value (if equal or more than $750,000 the grant is not applicable);
- the Grant Type selected is First Home Owner Grant.
The FHOG amounts are as follows:
- $30,000 for contracts between 20 November 2023 and 30 June 2025 (both dates inclusive);
- $15,000 for contracts signed before 20 November 2023.
