Ep #85 – Concerns higher land tax in VIC will ultimately hurt renters May 24, 2023

Westpac has now scrapped the 3 per cent assessment rate buffer for certain refinance applications, however Victorian property investors and holiday home owners are now set to face higher land tax obligations.

The announcement of higher land tax feels poorly timed given we’ve just experienced the largest and most rapid interest rate-tightening cycle on record (which may not even be over!).

It also puts more pressure on the current rental crisis.
