State Context
Tax-free up to $1,075,000. Then $100 plus 1.6% above that, and 2% above the $6,571,000 premium threshold.
Important Note
Land tax is cumulative. If you own multiple properties in the same state, their land values are added together, which may push you into a higher tax bracket. Primary residences are generally exempt. These are general rates for individuals: trusts, companies and foreign owners pay higher rates or surcharges.
How Land Tax Works in Australia
Unimproved Value
Tax is calculated on the value of the land itself, excluding buildings, fences, or other improvements. This is usually determined annually by state Valuer-Generals.
Ownership Thresholds
Most states offer a tax-free threshold. You only pay tax if the total land value of all your taxable properties in that state exceeds this limit.
