Exemptions
The absentee owner surcharge is an additional amount payable over the general and trust surcharge rates of land tax. It applies to Victorian land owned by an absentee owner and is calculated on the total taxable value of the land the absentee owner owns.
The Treasurer has published guidelines in the Government Gazette outlining the basis on which exemption decisions are to be made. There are 3 sets of guidelines, one for exemption applications relating to the 2016 and 2017 land tax years, one for exemption applications relating to the 2018 land tax year, and one for exemption applications relating to the 2019 land tax year and onwards.
