The more expensive the property, the greater the percentage of the price which must be paid in stamp duty. Which means if you now own a land, basically you might pay a set percentage, which increases at certain thresholds, on each portion of the property price. But in you case, you don't pay a specific percentage on the entire purchase as if the land is awaiting for lodgement. Cheers! Thanks NativeZen!
