Could someone clear this up for me?

If I am a houseowner and want to move and buy another house, am I exempt from paying stamp duty on a new build?

I know that if I buy a 2nd hand house then I will have to pay it, but does the fact that I have already owned a house exclude me from getting stamp duty exemption on a new build?
 
Some new builds if under a certain size used to be exempt from stamp duty for owner occupiers and I assume still are....have a look here.

but check with Revenue if this info is still valid today.
