As State governments run out of money, they come after small business and landowners.
In Victoria some properties used to have a land tax bill of $0. Now they are in the thousands.
Some have had land tax bills jump by 260%, another a 2,300% increase over a decade.
In New South Wales they’re letting higher valuations lift land taxes by stealth, and other States are now following suit.
Small business can’t afford this. They treat us like we are an ATM. We must fight back.
They don’t think we will tell our story. That small business and landowners have mortgages, and the only put of owning assets is to use them – housing small businesses and families.
