Housing—land tax
(Question No 362)
Mr Cain asked the Treasurer, upon notice, on 6 August 2021:
(1) How many vacant residential properties were assessed for land tax, for each quarter in each financial year from 2018-19 to present.
(2) What was the total value of land tax levied, for each quarter in each financial year from 2018-19 to the present.
(3) How many vacant residential properties were taxed, broken down by each suburb, for each quarter in each financial year from 2018-19 to present.
Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) & (3) Land tax applies to properties that are not an owner’s principal place of residence. Given this, the ACT Revenue Office does not collect and record data that identifies vacant residential properties.
(2) The total land tax assessed for each quarter of the financial years 2018-19, 2019-20, and 2020-21 is tabled below. There is no data for 2021-22 as yet.
