The Victorian opposition party said that it would scrap the Labor government’s stamp duty tax increase on the family home if elected to power.
The Liberal Nationals Party has committed to abolishing the stamp duty tax increase on the family home if it is elected to the government in Victoria.
The stance has followed the release of the Labor government’s Victoria budget 2021-22, in which it said that it would introduce a new land transfer duty threshold for high-value transactions for contracts entered into from 1 July 2021.
The budget papers said that for property transactions with a dutiable value above $2 million, the land transfer duty payable will increase to $110,000 plus 6.5 per cent of the dutiable value in excess of $2 million.

Heidi Withers was evicted three weeks ago from a neighbouring house and rather than seek housing assistance, she boldly transported all her belongings to an adjacent lawn in Melton, in Melbourne s west.
Incredibly, Fiona, who owns that front lawn and property, is now facing a breach of contract from her body corporate for having someone camping out on it. It s not just a mattress or a bed. It s everything. It s fridges, it s a couch and god knows what else, all her things are all out there. She s camping there, the hairdresser told A Current Affair.
