How Northern Territory charges duty and land tax

Transfer duty

CANNOT be modelled as marginal brackets. Stamp Duty Act (NT) Schedule 1: (1) up to $525,000 duty is a QUADRATIC FORMULA, D = (0.06571441 x V^2) + 15V dollars, where V = dutiable value / 1,000; (2) $525,001-$2,999,999: 4.95% of the TOTAL value; (3) $3,000,000-$4,999,999: 5.75% of the TOTAL value; (4) $5,000,000+: 5.95% of the TOTAL value. The brackets array above therefore lists only the flat-of-total bands and their starting thresholds; there is no bracket entry for the formula band and no bases. See notes and verification status.
