维州预算出炉，房产汽车高税难逃

据最新维州预算，汽车买主和物业的业主将被徵收更高的税费。

以购买 3 万澳币的新车为例，税费从3.2% 调涨至 4.2%，涨幅一个百分比，新增税额约 $300 澳币。

不动产物业持有者更将面临频繁的土地增值税，因评估土地税将从原本两年一次，改为每年评估一次，家庭成员，如配偶之间转让不动产也需缴纳印花税。

新的税费是在政府宣布调涨海外买家土地税、印花税和维州煤炭电税之后新一轮的增税。

这些增税全都违反州长在 2014 年大选时保证不会增加新税的承诺。

Higher taxes in State budget

Car buyers and property owners are being charged higher taxes in this year’s Victorian budget.

About $300 will be added to the cost of a $30,000 new car, with the tax rate increasing from 3.2% to 4.2%.

Property owners will be forced to pay land tax increases more often, because their land will be revalued for tax every year, instead of every two years. As well, families will be required to pay stamp duty in future on many transfers of property from one spouse to another.

These latest tax increases come on top of previous increases in land tax and stamp duty on overseas property purchasers, and increased tax on coal used for electricity.

All of these tax increases are a broken promise by Premier Daniel Andrews, who promised before the 2014 election that he would not increase any taxes.
