SAVE THOUSANDS BY BUYING OFF THE PLAN!! When buying a property off the plan, stamp duty is calculated on the property value at time of signing the contract. Therefore the earlier a contract is signed on a property, the bigger the saving. See the table below which illustrates stamp duty payable on a scale of property values. For more information visit the Victorian State Revenue Office website. Be sure to confirm the amount payable with your solicitor.
