Hong Kong Stamp Duty Calculator

Enter the property price (consideration or market value, whichever is higher) to instantly compute the Ad Valorem Stamp Duty (AVD). This calculator uses Scale 2 as revised by the 26 Feb 2025 Budget — flat $100 for properties up to $4M, scaling up to 4.25% at the top. With SSD, BSD and NRSD all abolished in February 2024, HK and non-HK buyers, second-home buyers and corporate buyers now share a single schedule.

Formula

≤ $4M: $100 flat $4M – $4.32M: $100 + 20% × (price − $4M) $4.5M: 1.5% × price …stepping up to a top rate of 4.25% (transition bands use marginal relief so the duty stays continuous across thresholds)

Frequently asked

Why does the $4 million threshold matter so much?

The 26 Feb 2025 Budget raised the $100 flat-duty cap from $3M to $4M. As long as the consideration or market value (whichever is higher) is no more than $4,000,000, AVD is a token $100. Cross the line into the “$4M – $4.32M” transition band and the 20% marginal rate immediately pushes duty up to roughly $65,000, which is why buyers often try to anchor offers at exactly the $4M mark to keep the bill nominal.

Do non-Hong Kong buyers still pay extra stamp duty?

No. Buyer’s Stamp Duty (BSD, 15%), New Residential Stamp Duty (NRSD, up to 15%) and Special Stamp Duty (SSD, on resale within 36 months) were all abolished on 28 February 2024. Since then every buyer — HK permanent residents, second-property buyers, non-HK individuals and companies alike — pays Ad Valorem Stamp Duty under the same Scale 2.

When must stamp duty be paid, and what if I miss the deadline?

Stamping is generally required within 30 days of signing the provisional sale and purchase agreement. Late stamping triggers a penalty of 2× the duty (up to 1 month late), 4× (1–2 months) or 10× (over 2 months). In practice your solicitor collects the AVD with the deposit and stamps the document well before deadline, so most buyers never have to manage the timing themselves.
