Client Alert No.100: Vacant Residential Land Tax

Vacant Residential Land Tax (“VRLT”) was introduced in Victoria back in 2017 and was effective from 1 January 2018.  However, this state tax was not widely known because its operation had been largely limited to foreign property owners in urban Melbourne council areas. However, clients with property interests in Victoria outside of metropolitan Melbourne will now need to consider the impact of VRLT going forward.
