FAQs

When are land tax assessments issued?

Land tax is an annual tax based on the total taxable value of all the land you own in Victoria, excluding exempt land such as your home (principal place of residence). Generally land tax assessments are sent to you or your authorised representative between late January and late May each year. You may, however, receive an assessment (including assessments for previous land tax years), outside this timeframe.

Are you liable for payroll tax?

If you are an employer in Victoria and your wage bill goes over a monthly threshold, you will have to pay payroll tax. To find out what this monthly threshold is, visit the payroll tax page on our website.

Are you eligible for the First Home Owner Grant?

If you are buying or building a new home, you may be eligible for the First Home Owner Grant ($10,000) if you signed your contract on or after 1 July 2013. A $20,000 First Home Owner Grant for regional areas may also apply. You may also be eligible for the Victorian Homebuyer Fund.

What is unclaimed money?

Unclaimed money is money that cannot be reunited with its rightful owner because, for example, the person has moved address, changed their name, or forgotten about it. You can search the register for any unclaimed money belonging to you. It is free to search and free to claim.
