Land Tax

1328 The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (11 September 2019). How much revenue is forecast to be collected in 2020-21 from land tax payers in each of the land tax thresholds to apply in that financial year?

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

The distribution of revenue and number of land tax payers across the land tax brackets from 2020-21 to 2022-23 will depend on the land tax scales that apply in those years.

The land tax scales and the distribution of taxpayers and collections will depend on whether the legislative amendments for the government's proposed land tax reform package are passed in parliament and whether there are any changes to the current proposal as detailed in the Land Tax (Miscellaneous) Amendment Bill 2019.

The actual land tax scales to apply from 2020-21 will also be impacted by the annual indexation of land tax thresholds in line with average site value growth as determined by the Valuer-General.
