Use the calculator
The land tax trust calculator helps you estimate how much land tax might apply to land held in trust in Victoria.
You will need to enter:
- the year you want to estimate tax for
- whether the trust is considered an absentee owner
- the total taxable value of all land held in trust.
When entering the total taxable value, exclude any land that is exempt such as land used as the principal place of residence (PPR) by a nominated PPR beneficiary.
The calculator will show an estimate based on the trust surcharge rates and includes the absentee owner surcharge if applicable.
If you own land individually or through a company, use the general land tax calculator instead.

- discretionary trusts that:
- acquired land only before 31 December 2005, but the trustee has not nominated a beneficiary
- acquired land only after 31 December 2005, with no nominated PPR beneficiary
- holds land acquired both before and after 31 December 2005 where the trustee has not nominated a beneficiary
- fixed trusts where the trustee has not notified the State Revenue Office of the beneficial interests in the land
- unit trusts where there has been no notification of the unitholders.
