What is land tax?

Land tax is a tax levied on the owners of land in NSW as at midnight on 31 December of each year. In general, your principal place of residence (your home) or land used for primary production (a farm) is exempt from land tax. You may be liable for land tax if you own or part-own:

  • vacant land, including vacant rural land

  • a holiday home

  • investment properties

  • company title units, or

  • residential, commercial or industrial units.
