Property Council calls for broader tax reform in Victoria
What happened
The Property Council welcomed the Victorian Government's changes to the Absentee Owner Surcharge guidelines as a step toward improving investment conditions. However, the Council stated that broader tax reform is needed to restore investor confidence and attract capital to Victoria. The Council also called for a commitment to meaningful tax reform ahead of the state election, emphasizing the need to address the commercial property sector.
