如工党再次当选，房屋新税为何？

州长 Andrews 已做出选举承诺，那是将耗费数十亿澳币的承诺，如果没有大幅增税，就无法兑现。 然而，至今为止，Andrews 先生仍拒绝透露一旦他当选，他将如何扩大增加税收来兑现承诺。

政府文件中指出，其中一个选项是，对住在大众运输或道路改善工程附近的所有人开徵特别费，例如，对住在 Box Hill 购物中心附近的人开徵新税。

另一项选择则是更广泛的开徵新税，例如对超过某特定价值的房产开徵年度税，又或是开徵房屋遗产税。

在 2014 年大选时，Andrews 先生承诺不会开徵新税或加重税率，然而，当选后他开徵 12项新税或加重的赋税。 这一次，Andrews 先生必需实话实说，告诉人民，如果他当选，他将开徵或加重那些税。

New taxes on homes if Labor re-elected?

Premier Andrews has made election promises to spend billions of dollars that can’t be paid for without huge tax increases. However, Mr Andrews is still refusing to reveal what taxes he will increase to pay for his promises if he is re-elected.

One option disclosed in government documents is to impose new special charges on anyone living near a public transport or road improvement. For example, this could include new charges on anyone living near central Box Hill.

Another option is to impose new taxes more widely, for example an annual tax on homes worth more than a certain value, or a taxes on the estates of people who die.

Before the 2014 election, Mr Andrews promised there would be no new or increased taxes, and then he broke that promise with 12 new or increased taxes. This time, Mr Andrews must tell the truth about what taxes he will increase if he is re-elected.
