Capital Gains Tax on Property & Investments

Capital gains tax is a federal tax administered by the ATO. There is no separate CGT in Tasmania or the Australian Capital Territory, and the same CGT rules, cost base rules, marginal tax rates, and 50% CGT discount apply as they do across Australia. This CGT calculator Tasmania & ACT above handles everything.

Both jurisdictions have distinctive property markets:

Tasmania experienced strong property growth between 2016 and 2023, particularly in Hobart and Launceston, creating significant capital gains for many long-term investors.

The ACT has delivered consistent property growth and Australia’s highest median household incomes, meaning property gains often fall into higher marginal tax brackets.

💡 TAS&ACT Key Fact: Tasmania uses a stamp duty system ranging from a $50 minimum to 4.5%. While, ACT investors generally pay conveyance duty ranging from 1.2% to 6.4%, although some properties may have benefited from the ACT’s transition toward annual land-value rates.
