HBC

Home Buyer Concession

The ACT's stamp duty exemption for eligible buyers replaced the old FHOG-style cash grant from 2019.

The ACT Home Buyer Concession Scheme is a stamp duty (conveyance duty) waiver that can reduce duty to zero for eligible buyers. The HBC replaced the ACT's old First Home Owner Grant and applies to both new and established properties — unusual among Australian schemes. Income caps and property value caps apply.
