Your land
Choose the location and enter the taxable land value.
Use the land (site) value from your valuation or assessment notice, not the property price. Add together the land values of every taxable property you own in this state. Your own home is generally exempt.
Choose the ownership type and whether the owner is foreign or absentee.
Estimates only, not financial or legal advice. Land tax rates, thresholds, exemptions, and aggregation and grouping rules change and vary with individual circumstances. Always confirm with the relevant state revenue office before relying on a figure.

What land tax costs in Tasmania
An individual holding taxable land in TAS, at three land values, under the rates above.
| Land value | Land tax a year | Share of land value |
|---|---|---|
| $160,000 | $208 | 0.13% |
| $210,000 | $432 | 0.21% |
| $280,000 | $748 | 0.27% |
Land value means the unimproved site value of all your taxable land added together, which is well below what the properties would sell for. These figures assume the land is not your home, since your principal place of residence is exempt, and that you are not a foreign owner. Companies and trusts are assessed differently in some states. Estimates only, not an assessment.

Frequently asked questions
How is land tax calculated in Tasmania?
Tasmania taxes General Land (mainly rentals, holiday homes and commercial property) owned at 1 July each year. The first $125,000 of assessed land value is free. Then $50 plus 0.45% applies up to $500,000, and $1,737.50 plus 1.5% above that. The same scale applies to individuals, companies and trusts.
Is my home exempt from Tasmanian land tax?
Yes. Land classified as Principal Residence Land is fully exempt, and so is primary production land. Only General Land is taxed.
What is the foreign investor land tax surcharge in Tasmania?
Foreign owners pay an extra 2% of assessed land value each year, on top of ordinary land tax. It applies to residential General Land acquired on or after 1 July 2022.
