1 July 2021 is a key date for new stamp duty measures in Victoria, including the new premium rate of duty (for all property types) and duty concessions for acquisitions of residential properties. We outline below some important considerations in relation to these changes and opportunities to save duty.
Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas announced a number of further tax changes in the state Budget handed down on 20 May 2021 that will impact a wide range of Victorian businesses.
Whilst the Victorian Government has announced several positive and welcome reforms, it has also introduced an additional tax for medium and large employers.
The 2021-22 Victorian Budget included various significant transfer (stamp) duty changes, comprising duty concessions for purchases of properties within the City of Melbourne local government area, a widening of the off-the-plan duty concession for home buyers, as well as the pre-announced increase in the rate of duty for purchases of properties worth over $2 million.
For the first time in more than ten years, the Victorian Government has announced an increase in land tax rates. Properties with an unimproved value of $1.8 million or more will be stung with a significant amount of additional land tax, with the hike expected to raise more than $1.53 billion in revenue over the forward estimates period.
The Federal Budget 2021-22 was built against the backdrop of an ongoing global pandemic and the faster than expected economic recovery to date. The resilience and resurgence of much of Australia’s economy has been supported by a range
of temporary Government initiatives designed to help businesses and individuals navigate the unprecedented upheaval in the Australian and global economies.
