英文版/ English version
Four new State taxes to start soon
Legislation to impose four new taxes was passed by the Parliament last week, despite strong opposition from Liberal and National MPs.
Within the next few days, all “off-the-plan” purchases of investment properties will be charged tax of up to 5.5% of the purchase price.
From 1 July, the tax on buying a new motor vehicle will increase to 4.2% of the purchase price.
Also from 1 July, any transfers of real estate between spouses or partners will be charged tax of up to 5.5% of the property value, unless they live in the property.
As well, from 1 January next year, property owners will be charged a new tax of 1% of the value of any vacant residential property in the Melbourne CBD or in inner or middle suburbs, eg $5,000 each year on a unit worth $500,000.
