Frequently Asked Questions
How much is land tax in Australia?+
Key thresholds for individuals: NSW $1,075,000 (then 1.6%), VIC $300,000, QLD $600,000, SA $534,000, WA $300,000, TAS $100,000. NT has no land tax. All calculated on unimproved land value.
Do you pay land tax in every state?+
Each state assesses independently — owning investment properties in multiple states means separate land tax obligations in each. There is no cross-state aggregation.
Is land tax higher for trusts?+
Yes. Most states impose trust surcharges or lower thresholds — NSW adds 0.25% with no threshold; VIC has a $25,000 threshold vs $300,000 for individuals plus a 0.5% surcharge.
How can I reduce land tax?+
Hold property in individual names where possible, use PPOR exemptions, consider threshold implications when acquiring properties, and seek advice from a tax agent about ownership structure.
