Rates of duty

​​​​​​​​​Duty is charged on a sliding scale based on the greater of either the unencumbered value or the purchase price paid.

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).
