Are you eager to move to Australia, do a job and reside there in? If yes, here’s a news report especially for you! As per latest figures, people shifting to Australia to reside and do a job, and wishing to purchase a house may be subjected to more tax vis-à-vis what they maybe had expected.

As per the Housing Industry Association (HIA), the concerned body of the residential building business in the Kangaroo Land, property tax is having a not-too-positive influence even as the same differs according to where one eventually decides to stay.

A breakdown of the numbers from the latest report from the HIA reportedly reveals that during the month of November 2015, home purchasers in Northern Territory kept on being plagued with the biggest stamp duty bills at $25,600, only to be trailed by Victoria at $24,700 and New South Wales (NSW) at $23,600.

Queensland kept on proffering the lowest stamp duty bills by a rather easy margin at $6,300 only to be trailed by Tasmania at $9,300. And, stamp duty bills are the 4th biggest in the ACT at $18,400, with the region of Western Australia (WA) at the 5th spot at $16,300 and South Australia (SA) at the 6th spot at $15,400.

The usual stamp duty bill all over the country headed north to $19,045 from $17,653 in the month of June, a rise of 7.9% and the cost of stamp duty is equal to nearly four months’ value of income with stamp duty, in the process, causing mortgage settlements to rise by $1,165 every year, or $34,955 over a three decade loan term.

As per a leading economist from the HIA, the price label of stamp duty has a major off-putting multiplier result leading to a downward financial twist for families. Aside from the instant effect of being over $19,000 worse off, stamp duty leads to mortgage interest expenses heading north by roughly $15,900.

He elucidated that damage from the surge of stamp duty does not come to an end there. Home purchasers have smaller deposits post stamp duty is paid, and must experience bigger mortgage liability. Consequently, notably higher LMI charges must afterwards be paid.

Garrett indicated that on a standard home acquisition of $527,000, stamp duty can increase the LMI premium by an additional $7,855. In case that is not sufficiently bad, an additional coating of mortgage interest is added on and above the LMI premium in case the same is duly taken advantage of.

The outcome: the usual stamp duty bill of $19,045 can balloon up to roughly $50,000 after LMI and mortgage interest is duly factored in. The same is an intolerable yoke to place on the common home purchasers.

Garrett also indicated that as state administrations depend increasingly more on the income from stamp duty, they have been sightless to the clear results these expenses have on soon-to-be first home purchasers.
