Victoria Land Tax FAQs
What is the land tax threshold in Victoria?
The Victoria general threshold is $50,000 of taxable land value. Below it you pay nothing; from the threshold, $500 plus 0% of the excess applies, rising through 7 bands to 2.65% at the top.
How much land tax will I pay on $500,000 in Victoria?
On $500,000 of taxable land value, the VIC general scale produces $1,950 a year. Trust or company ownership, surcharges and exemptions change the figure — enter your own details in the calculator above for your estimate.
When is land tax assessed in Victoria?
Victoria assesses ownership at midnight 31 December — what you own at that moment sets your bill for the following calendar year. There's no pro-rating: selling in January doesn't reduce that year's assessment.
Is my home exempt from land tax in Victoria?
Yes. Your principal place of residence is exempt in Victoria, as in every state. Land tax applies to investment properties, holiday homes, commercial land and vacant land — enter only the taxable portion of your holdings in the calculator.
How does Victoria tax land held on trust?
Land held on trust uses a separate surcharge scale that starts at just $25,000 of taxable value — far below the general $50,000 threshold — and applies higher rates through the middle bands. Above $3,000,000 the trust and general scales converge. Switch the owner type to Trust in the calculator to compare.
What is the absentee owner surcharge in Victoria?
Absentee owners — foreign individuals not ordinarily resident, and foreign companies and trusts — pay an additional 4% on the taxable value of their Victorian land, on top of the standard scale. Toggle "Foreign or absentee owner" in the calculator to include it.
Why did my Victorian land tax jump in recent years?
Victoria's scale was expanded under the COVID Debt Repayment Plan: the threshold dropped to $50,000 and flat charges plus higher marginal rates now apply through the bands. The current scale is locked in for the levy period, so a holding that was tax-free before may now receive an assessment.
Land tax in other states
Each state assesses only the land within its borders, with its own threshold and scale — compare them all on the land tax calculator hub.
