Land tax applies to land regardless of whether income is earned from the land. Land includes: vacant land, including vacant rural land. land where a house, residential unit or flat has been built.

Land tax is an annual tax payable by owners of land. Land tax is administered by your state or territory government and is applicable everywhere except for the Northern Territory. An owner with one or more parcels of taxable land (e.g. strata lots, investment properties, holiday houses, commercial premises, vacant land, company title units, etc.), is liable for land tax.

Land tax is calculated on the combined value of all the taxable land you own. The land tax threshold for 2018 is $629,000. This means your land tax assessment is calculated on the combined value of all the taxable land you own above this threshold.
