What is the Metropolitan Region Improvement Tax (MRIT)?
Land in the Perth metropolitan region attracts MRIT of 0.14% on the aggregated taxable value above $300,000, on top of ordinary land tax. It funds the metropolitan region improvement scheme. The calculator adds it when the metro toggle is on.
Does WA have a foreign owner land tax surcharge?
No. WA and South Australia are the only land-taxing jurisdictions without a foreign or absentee owner surcharge on land tax assessments.
