    Hi all,

    I've been trying to search high and low (for general answers) to find out which state currently has the cheapest stamp duty?

    I'm not including discounts for 1st home owners, just regular what to expect costs. Other then the many calculator sites which require you to fill out the details, I've found 2 sites which may be off assistance to others:

    1) Guide To Stamp Duty Australia

    2) Stamp Duty Calculator - Calculate Stamp Duty For NSW, VIC & Others

    Does anyone know the top 2 cheapest states without working on the percentage calculations over so and so?

    Website (2) seems to tell me that ACT is the cheapest, with QLD the 2nd cheapest. Would I be correct? I don't have a price range yet, but did a few random amounts.
