If you are buying a property you may be required to pay a proportion of the emergency services levy at settlement, as you would for land tax, council rates or water rates. Your taxpayer representative, for example, your conveyancer, will be able to provide you with more information about your situation.
Each year, as the owner of the property, you will be required to pay the emergency services levy, which is calculated on the property's value, use and region.
For more information on the emergency services levy please refer the emergency services levy pages.
