How Queensland land tax works

This land tax calculator for QLD works out your annual bill from the taxable value of your Queensland land — individual, company or trustee rates, plus the foreign surcharge — straight from the official schedules.

Land tax is an annual state tax on the land you own in Queensland at midnight 30 June, assessed on averaged statutory land values — the value of the dirt, not the building. All your taxable QLD landholdings are added together, one threshold applies to the total, and your principal place of residence is generally exempt. That's why land tax is mostly an investor's tax: rentals, holiday homes and vacant blocks.

Worked examples

  • Individual with one rental. Land value $550,000 — under the $600,000 threshold, so no land tax. (The family home doesn't count.)
  • Individual with two rentals totalling $1,500,000 of land value: $4,500 + 1.65c × $500,000 = $12,750 a year.
  • Foreign company holding $800,000: $9,100 at company rates +$24,000 surcharge = $33,100 a year.

Buying an investment property? Don't forget the one-off costs too — the QLD stamp duty calculator covers transfer duty, and the LMI calculator covers mortgage insurance if you're borrowing over 80%.

Frequently asked questions

How is land tax calculated in QLD?
On the total taxable value of all Queensland freehold land you own at midnight 30 June — using averaged statutory land values, not house prices. Individuals pay nothing below $600,000; from there, brackets apply. Example: $1,500,000 of taxable land costs an individual $4,500 + 1.65c for each $1 over $1,000,000 = $12,750.
Do I pay land tax on my own home in Queensland?
Generally no. Land used as your principal place of residence is usually exempt, and exempt land does not count toward your total, whatever it is worth. Land tax mainly affects investment properties, holiday homes and vacant land.
When do you pay land tax in QLD?
Liability is fixed by the Queensland land you own at midnight 30 June each year: buy on 1 July and that land is not in the assessment until the following year. The date you pay by is set by the assessment notice the Queensland Revenue Office then issues.
Do apartments pay land tax?
Units and apartments carry a share of their block's land value, which counts toward your total. Because one apartment's land share is usually small, a single unit rarely crosses the threshold on its own — but several can, together.
Does QLD count land I own in other states?
The Queensland Revenue Office assesses the total taxable value of the Queensland freehold land you own, and this calculator does the same: enter your Queensland land only. Land in another state is a matter for that state’s land tax, under its own threshold. On deductibility, see how land tax is calculated.
What is the land tax threshold in QLD?
$600,000 of total taxable value for individuals, and $350,000 for companies and trustees. Foreign companies and trustees of foreign trusts also pay a 3% surcharge from $350,000.
