Land Tax

The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS (15:13): My question is to the Treasurer. How many land tax assessment notices for 2021 are still yet to be issued, and how much has the government spent on external contractors who have been brought in to fix IT issues that are plaguing the system?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:13): In relation to the second question, that was asked during the estimates committee and an answer has or is being provided publicly. I do not have that number with me, but it has been publicly provided. In relation to the latest estimate of the outstanding number of accounts, my advice early this week was that it has come down from 18,000, pleasingly, to 7,100.
