Lodging an objection form
GEN-Form-04
What is the purpose of this form?
You use this form to lodge an objection to your assessment(s) or certain written decisions made by the SRO. These include written decisions made under the Payroll Tax, First Home Owner Grant, Unclaimed Money and Back to Work Acts.
An objection is a formal avenue of dispute resolution requiring you to explain fully and in detail the grounds of your objection.
This GEN-Form-04 should be used to lodge a formal objection challenging the legal basis of an assessment, reassessment or written decision by the Commissioner of State Revenue. You must tell us why the assessment, reassessment or written decision has been incorrectly issued to you based on the relevant legislation.
Land valuation objection
If you want to object to the site value in your land tax assessment or the capital improved value in your vacant residential land tax assessment, you must lodge a land valuation objection. Do not use GEN-Form-04 for this purpose.
Updates and changes to your land tax assessment or reassessment
Sometimes, your land tax or vacant residential land tax assessment may need updating or changing because it contains incorrect or out-of-date information. This is not an objection and there are different processes for these updates or changes to land tax assessments and vacant residential land tax assessments.
Using GEN-Form-04 to lodge an objection
You must lodge your objection within 60 days of receiving the notice of assessment or written decision. If you lodge your objection after the 60-day timeframe, you must provide reasons for the delay. If no reasons are provided to explain the delay, your objection will be invalid.
If you have received a reassessment, you can only object to liabilities that are additional to or greater than those under the previous assessment or reassessment.
You cannot lodge an objection to a compromise assessment or compromise reassessment.
