449 The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (1 April 2021). As at 31 March 2021, how many landowners have applied for land tax relief under the land tax transition fund:

(a) How many have been approved?

(b) What is the total value of the approved relief?

(c) How many people have applied for land tax deferrals?

(d) What is the value of these deferrals?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

As at 24 May 2021, 125 Land Tax Transition Fund applications have been received. Of these, 81 have been approved, with the total value of approved relief amounting to $651,331.17.

With regard to the land tax deferral measure, businesses and individuals were able choose, without needing to apply, to defer the payment of their third and fourth 2019-20 land tax quarterly instalment payments for up to six months from the due date of the third instalment. In light of the fact that businesses and individuals were not required to apply for a deferral, no records have been kept in relation to how many taxpayers deferred payment or the value of the deferrals.
