Land tax around Australia

Land tax around Australia

Big changes
One of the biggest changes to land tax rates occurred in the June 2019 Queensland Budget with a notable change to the base threshold from $599,999 down to $349,999. This means those who have never paid land tax before, may now qualify. A quick reminder that we are talking about land value as opposed to the full 'bank' value of your property, so take a deep breath before you call your accountant to check if you now have to find another $1,450 plus a few extra thousand to cover taxes from here on.

In the past 12 months changes have been made to land tax financial thresholds in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania and South Australia, while no changes were made to  Western Australia.

There is no land tax in the Northern Territory.
