Getting and using the First Home Owners Grant
The First Home Owners Grant (FHOG) is a one-off tax-free Federal Government payment of up to $7,000 to anyone buying a first home in Australia.
Getting the FHOG
The state and territory governments hand out the grants on behalf of the Federal Government. They may also offer additional bonuses for first home-buyers like stamp duty concessions and extra money. Ask an Aussie Mortgage Broker about the perks and lurks that you should know about, or take a look at the website of the revenue office in your state or territory:
ACT | NSW | NT | QLD | SA | TAS | VIC | WA
