Proposed landholder duty model

As part of the 2011-12 State Budget , the Treasurer announced the Government will reform Victoria’s land rich duty provisions by adopting a landholder duty model from 1 July 2012.

Following written submissions from stakeholders and various consultation meetings, as part of public consultation on the policy parameters of Victoria's proposed landholder duty model,  the Government approved modifications to the original proposed design features.

An exposure draft of the Duties Amendment (Landholder) Bill 2012 has now been released for technical consultation. Feedback is requested by 5pm on Monday 16 April 2012.
