Land tax reduction for eligible landlords

Landlords who provide tenants impacted by COVID-19 with rent relief may be eligible for a 25% reduction on the property’s 2020 land tax.

This relief is also available to land owners who are unable to secure a tenant because of COVID-19.

These landlords can also defer the remainder of their 2020 land tax to up to 31 March 2021.

This relief is available for residential and commercial properties, however, for commercial landlords to be eligible, the property must be rented to a tenant with an annual turnover of up to $50 million, and the tenant must be eligible for the Commonwealth Government’s JobKeeper Payment.

Eligible landlords can apply for the land tax reduction through My Land Tax from Friday 1 May 2020:
