What’s this new tax:
On 20 March 2024, the Victorian State Government introduced the Commercial
and Industrial Property Tax Reform Bill 2024 (legislation.vic.gov.au).
The Bill is expected to become law and to take effect from 1 July 2024.
The Victorian Government, as announced in the 2023-24 Budget, is progressively abolishing stamp duty on commercial and industrial
property and replacing it with an annual tax.
The annual tax, to be known as the Commercial and Industrial Property Tax (CIPT), will be set at 1% of the
property’s unimproved land value.
The tax will replace land transfer duty (stamp duty) that is currently payable on the improved value of the land when you purchase or
acquire a commercial or industrial property in Victoria.
The new tax system will start to apply to commercial and industrial property if the property is transacted on or after 1 July 2024.
