Australia: Proposal to introduce tax on short-term accommodations (Victoria)

The bill would introduce a 7.5% tax effective January 1, 2025, on bookings for short-term accommodations.

August 28, 2024

The Victorian government introduced the Short Stay Levy Bill 2024 to state parliament.

The bill would introduce a 7.5% tax effective January 1, 2025, on bookings for short-term accommodations (less than 28 days), including bookings made through online platforms.

Commercial accommodations such as hotels, motels, and caravan parks would be exempted from the tax, as would homeowners renting out all or part of their principal place of residence.
