Duty is charged on a sliding scale (see Rates of Duty) based on the unencumbered value or the purchase price paid, whichever is the greater. The unencumbered value is determined by multiplying the valuation last determined by the Valuer-General, by the appropriate adjustment factor for the relevant municipality. Adjustment factors and valuations can be obtained from the Land Information System Tasmania (LIST).
