Controversial property stamp duty set to be axed in Queensland

IN HIS SIGHTS: Treasurer Andrew Fraser describes stamp duty as a "relic". Source: The Courier-Mail
ONE of Queensland's most despised taxes could be axed to save homebuyers tens of thousands of dollars.
Homebuyers have paid more than $12 billion in stamp duty since 2006 but the State Government yesterday said it should be dumped.
Treasurer Andrew Fraser described stamp duty as a "relic" and an "inefficient" tax.
He said it would be at the top of the state's "hit list" at a federal tax summit later this year.
Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan refused to comment, but housing and real estate groups have welcomed the move.
