Melbourne Land Tax: Ownership, Use and Valuation Matter

Victorian land tax is an annual tax on taxable land, subject to exemptions. The assessment depends on the land held, the ownership structure, its use and the site values used by the State Revenue Office.

Separate factual and legal issues

First check whether the notice lists the correct land and ownership. Then identify whether the disagreement concerns an exemption, grouping or trust treatment, absentee status, valuation, or another legal issue. Each requires different supporting material.

Do not let the deadline choose for you

Collect the assessment, ownership and use records, valuations and relevant correspondence promptly. Legal advice is most useful while all review options remain available.
