What threshold applies to companies and trusts in Queensland?
Companies and trustees have a lower $350,000 threshold and a steeper scale, starting at $1,450 plus 1.7 cents per dollar. Each trust is assessed separately on the land it holds.
How are absentee and foreign owners taxed in Queensland?
Absentee individuals lose the $600,000 resident threshold and are assessed from $350,000 on their own scale. On top of that, absentees, foreign companies and trustees of foreign trusts pay a 3% surcharge on taxable land value above $350,000.
