Recently, the government of New South Wales proposed to offer first home buyers an interesting choice to help them get into the property market sooner.

Homebuyers can opt to choose between a large amount of stamp duty or…

An annual land tax of a much smaller amount.

Now, what are the implications of each option?

In today’s episode, we are going to weigh the pros and cons between saving up another 5% or so on top of your deposit for stamp duty OR committing to an annual land tax bill of a much smaller amount.

We also discuss the possibilities of other states following suit, the qualifications to be considered for this offer, and how both stamp duty and land tax are calculated.
