The NSW Government's First Home Buyer Choice scheme (now the property tax option) allows eligible first home buyers to opt for an annual property tax instead of upfront stamp duty on properties up to $1,500,000. This can significantly improve cash-flow at settlement for buyers in the Drummoyne price bracket, but it involves long-term tax commitments that depend on your ownership horizon. Run the numbers with a mortgage broker before choosing between stamp duty and property tax.
