Poca&Dan Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 This may sound like a silly question, but do you have to pay council taxes on your home like over here, is it dependent on which territory you go to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 You pay rates if you are a home owner. Higher rates if you have an investment property. I think most states still have rates based on unimproved value of the land rather than on improvements as in UK. Rates are set at different levels according to the state or territory you live in.
