    Hi,

    I’m about to purchase a property with the FHOG, with the tenant staying for 10 months, then moving in after. So if I’m renting it out instead of moving in immediately am I entitled to the First Home Owner Rate of Stamp Duty?

    The property is less than 200k in Western Australia.

    Hi,

    I understand you have to live in the property as your ppor for a minimum 6 months, starting within the first year of purchase, so you could effectively move in after 10 months, stay for 6, then move out again..and be entitled to the stamp duty exemption, and the FHOG.

    I know there are many posts on this, so do a search to get more “solid” advice..or just call the OSR, they will answer you on the spot..you dont have to give names or anything.
