Important Update on 'Multiple Concessions Apply Feature

The triConvey QLD Stamp Duty Calculator has an option for when Multiple Concessions Apply. Previously, the calculator provided options to enter different concessions by way of fractions. 

The options to enter the fractions has now been removed from existing matters with Settlement Dates from 8 June 2025. Please note, no existing data will be lost from your matter. 

Matters with Multiple Concessions entered with Settlement Date pre 8 June 2025 will appear as follows:

Please use the Queensland Revenue Office (QRO) Transfer Duty Calculator to calculate mixed/multiple concessions. Refer below for When Multiple Concessions Apply for more details.

Concessions and Grants

Using the Stamp Duty Calculator

triConvey's Stamp Duty Calculator will check the following information from your matter to calculate Transfer Duty, concessions, AFAD and grants: 

• 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; 
• the Concession Type selected; 
• the Foreign Interest Fraction and Value for the FPD entered; and 
• if the Grant Type selected is First Home Owner Grant.

Purchase Matter Stamp Duty Calculator

1.    Double-click Conveyancing Details and select the Contract & Settlement Details tab. 

2.    Enter the Unconditional Date or Contract Date (or leave blank to use today’s date).

Tip:  Ensure that the Purchase Price has been entered.

3.    Select the Stamp Duty, Tax & Registration tab. 
 

4.    Select your Concession from the Concession Type dropdown (if it applies).

Tip:  The concession will be applied to the Dutiable Value (or Dutiable Value Override Amount, if entered).  The deduction amount will populate in less Concession and the sub-total will populate in Concession Duty.

5.    To calculate AFAD/Foreign Purchaser Duty, enter the Foreign Interest fraction and the calculated Foreign Purchaser Duty will appear in the Foreign Purchaser Duty field. 

6.    If the Dutiable Value for Foreign Purchaser Duty is different, this can be entered in the Value for FPD field, and the Foreign Purchaser Duty will be calculated using this amount instead.

7.    If the First Home Owner Grant applies, click on the Grant Type dropdown and select First Home Owner Grant.
 

8.    The Grant Amount field will populate with the applicable amount.

Transfer Matter Stamp Duty Calculator

The Transfer matter Stamp Duty Calculator caters for: 

• Transfer Duty; 
• Home Transfer Duty Concession; and 
• Additional foreign acquirer duty (AFAD)/foreign purchaser duty. 

It does not cater for the First Home Owner Grant.

1.    Double-click Transfer Details and enter the Consideration.

2.    Select your Concession from the Concession Type dropdown (if it applies).

Tip:  The concession will be applied to the Dutiable Value.  The deduction amount will populate in less Concession and the sub-total will populate in Concession Duty.

3.    To calculate AFAD/Foreign Purchaser Duty, enter the Foreign Interest fraction and the calculated Foreign Purchaser Duty will appear in the Foreign Purchaser Duty field. 

4.    If the Dutiable Value for Foreign Purchaser Duty is different, this can be entered in the Value for FPD field, and the Foreign Purchaser Duty will be calculated using this amount instead.
