Hi guys,
I'm a bit confused with what I've been reading online. We live in WA and March 2014 we settled on our block of land. We bought it for $150,000. My DH and I remember the settlement agent pointing out the stamp duty and saying as first home buyers we should get the full amount back (think it was around $3,300??) but of what I've read we get 40% of that amount back? I'm so not sure! Our build has just gone past lock up so we dropped in at the settlement agent, as they said we can't apply to have the stamp duty refunded until the slab is down. The agent who settled our land was busy so the lady who took our forms couldn't answer any questions! So just wondering as a first home buyer, do we get the full amount of duty back or 40%. Just to clarify our slab went down February 2015, thanks in advance
