Rates and thresholds

Rates 2009

Land tax is calculated on the combined value of all the taxable land you own. The land tax threshold for 2009 is $368,000. Your land tax assessment is calculated on the combined value of all the taxable land you own above the threshold. The rate of tax is $100 plus 1.6 per cent of the land value between the threshold and the premium rate threshold.

If land is owned by a trustee of a special trust, or is owned by a company classified under Section 29 of the land tax legislation as a non-concessional company, the land tax threshold does not apply and land tax will be charged at a flat rate of 1.6 per cent of the taxable value. From the 2009 tax year, a new premium land tax marginal rate of 2 per cent will apply if your total taxable land value is above $2,250,000.
