Learnt something new.
Question: Say, land value for A+B = $432,000 (no land than at this stage)
Now, A buys another land for $100,000.
Does A need pay any land tax now?

Answer: What will happen is that you will receive a nil assessment for A + B, however, A's interest in that property will be added to his/hers $100,000. If the ownership is 50% then A's account will be $100,000 + $216,000 = $316,000. As this is still under the threshold no land tax would be payable. However, if B's individual property is say $400,000 then his land value would be $400,000 + $216,000 = $616,000.
 
The second webinar is on at 10am today. Here are the slides

I had a question about one of the exemption notes on page 16

regarding absence exemption "cannot rent out PPR for more than 6 months in a year"

I have been renting out our home for past 2 years while overseas (that was originally PPOR) and still am electing to treat as main residence, does that mean I should be paying land tax? I thought you only start paying land tax if it becomes an IP such as if you contined to rent it out your PPOR beyond 6 years?
Thanks a lot!

thanks Terry, I will give them a call to find out the damage fir the past 2 years and register etc. I hope I dont have too big a penalty if I call them up now and pay it all off pronto?

Yes good idea to call and discuss with them - tell them you only realised because of their webinars and this will make them happy.

Better to do it now so you can claim it on the tax too.
 
I just called and registered and they said I will get a combined bill for the past 2 years and this year all in one and will allow to pay by 3 installments and that I will have no penalties or interest.
