2025-26 NON-concessional residential scale (buyers not eligible for the Home Buyer Concession Scheme - e.g. investors / non-owner-occupiers). ANOMALY: above $1,455,000 duty is a FLAT 4.54% of the TOTAL dutiable value, not a marginal rate (no base for that bracket). ACT also publishes a lower eligible owner-occupier scale (0.28% up to $260,000 rising to 6.4%, then the same flat 4.54% over $1,455,000) - the ACT therefore has two residential scales and any model must state which one it uses. See notes.
