Land Tax - Further Enquiries

CHANGE OF ADDRESS Change of address details can be advised online at www.revenuesa.sa.gov.au or via the enquiry methods mentioned above.

If you receive two or more Notices for properties owned by the same taxpayer, please advise RevenueSA immediately of the correct owner name. If you don't receive a Notice for a property liable for land tax (e.g. rental property) equally contact RevenueSA. Interest and penalty tax can apply if you don't advise RevenueSA of these situations.

CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP RevenueSA does not apportion land tax between the vendor and the purchaser. If a property is transferred to a new owner, the full liability must be paid at the time of settlement even if the vendor has chosen to pay by instalments. Please refer any enquiries regarding property settlement payments to your land conveyancer.

INSTALMENT OPTION Payment by instalments is available. If the instalment option is chosen, failure to meet any instalment payment by its due date will result in the unpaid remainder of the full land tax becoming immediately due and payable, with penalty tax and interest (if applicable) being charged on the full amount unpaid.

Please note: (a) Instalment advice notices will include any land sold during the financial year of assessment. As the owner at midnight 30 June, you are liable to pay the land tax assessed for the forthcoming year. Please refer to the Guide which accompanies this notice for further information. (b)Depending on the date of issue, date(s) for payment of this notice may fall due in the following financial year.

PENALTIES AND INTEREST FOR LATE PAYMENT The Taxation Administration Act 1996 (the "Act") allows for a flat penalty tax of 75% of the unpaid tax to be imposed in instances of the deliberate non-payment of tax, or 25% for any other situation. The Commissioner of State Taxation has exercised discretion to reduce the 25% penalty tax to the rate of 5% of the annual primary land tax outstanding provided the further assessment is paid in full by the due date. The Act also allows for interest to be imposed on unpaid tax on a daily basis from the due date until the date the tax is paid.
