Property is 400k 50k loan in joint names 50/50 change ownership to one spouse not married/married How much stamp is do you pay? Do you pay stamp duty on 400k or 50k loan? Both scenarios are in qld

thanks guys, what if its 90% ownership to one spouse and 10% to the other spouse and the 90% was paying out the 10% spouse would it only be stamp duty on the 10%?
