What is Land Tax?

Land tax is a state tax applied to the combined taxable value of all the land you own in Victoria, excluding exempt properties like your principal place of residence. This annual tax is calculated based on the site's total land value and ownership structure.

Who Pays Land Tax?

Individuals, trusts, companies, and absentee owners who own property—other than their main residence—may be liable to pay land tax. Land tax applies to:

• Investment properties
• Holiday homes
• Vacant land (not used as main residence)
• Properties owned by trusts and companies

How is Land Tax Calculated?

Land tax in Victoria is calculated using a progressive scale. The tax-free threshold for individuals is typically $300,000, and higher tax rates apply to trusts and companies. The rate increases as the value of land holdings rises. Additional surcharges may apply for absentee landowners.
