Changes of use of property

About this form

When a property enters the commercial and industrial property tax (CIPT) reform it must have a qualifying use.  

Once your property is in the reform, you must notify the Commissioner if your property, or part of your property, undergoes a change of use. A change of use happens when a property changes from a qualifying to a non qualifying use (or vice versa). 

You must give notice within 30 days after the change of use.  

You must notify us of an actual change of use even if there has been no change in the Australian Property Valuation Classification Code (AVPCC) allocated to your property as well as changes to qualifying use because of one or more changes to the AVPCCs allocated to the property.
