Reduce Land Tax Costs With Our Expert Review Services

Land tax is often overpaid due to incorrect assessments, misclassified land use, or missed exemptions. BTGI helps businesses, property owners, and developers review and recover overpaid land tax quickly, compliantly, and with no upfront cost.

We Review, Challenge, and Recover Overpaid Land Tax

Our team specialises in identifying overpaid land tax and securing refunds from state revenue authorities. Whether your property is commercial, residential, mixed-use, or under development, we help ensure you’re paying only what’s necessary and nothing more.

Valuation and Threshold Review

We check whether your property has been correctly valued and whether the right tax-free thresholds and concessions have been applied.

Land Use and Grouping Classifications

We identify misclassified land use types (e.g., residential vs. commercial) and incorrect property grouping that may inflate your land tax liability.

Missed Exemptions

We uncover missed land tax exemptions like primary production, charities, or principal place of residence. These can lead to major refunds.

Historical Refund Opportunities

We review past assessments within the allowable refund period (typically up to 5 years) and manage the entire claims process to recover any overpaid tax
We handle the land tax recovery process from start to finish, including analysis, documentation, and liaising with revenue authorities on your behalf.

BTG recently performed a thorough indirect tax review of the Group’s past 4 years of supplier payments. This involved a vast quantity of work, which the BTG team completed in good time and to a high quality. BTG’s expertise in this area meant their feedback was well-informed and their process improvements will benefit the Group. Overall, the service provided by BTG represented fantastic value for money and I would recommend them to any organisation who wants to understand how much unclaimed GST they can recover.

Frequently Asked Questions — Land Tax Recovery Services in Australia

Land tax is a state-based tax charged annually on the unimproved value of land owned by individuals or entities, excluding exemptions like your principal place of residence. If you own investment properties, commercial land, or rural land, you may be liable.

Overpayments often occur due to incorrect land use classification, valuation discrepancies, missing exemptions, or incorrect grouping of entities. These errors can go unnoticed for years, resulting in substantial overpaid tax.

Yes. In most states, you can retrospectively claim overpaid land tax within a defined window (usually up to 5 years). BTGI helps you assess eligibility, prepare documentation, and submit claims for refunds.

No. We handle all communications and submissions on your behalf. Our team has experience dealing with state revenue offices across Australia and knows how to present your case effectively.

Absolutely. All our reviews are based on current state land tax legislation and guidelines. We use documented and auditable methods to ensure compliance and support.

Our compliance-first approach also extends to customs duty reviews, helping businesses reduce costs while staying aligned with import/export regulations.

There’s no upfront fee for land tax recovery services. You only pay if we successfully recover land tax savings or refunds for you.

In most cases, yes — for the better. We don’t just recover past overpayments; we also help you ensure future assessments are accurate and reflect your entitlements going forward.

Additionally, if your operations also involve fuel usage in off-road or heavy vehicle contexts, we have fuel tax credit review services that identify missed entitlements and reduce ongoing tax burdens.
