What is landholder duty?

Landholder duty may apply when a person acquires an interest in a company or unit trust that holds Victorian land valued at $1 million or more. Interests are usually held via shares or units. This ensures that the duty payable on an indirect acquisition of land is the same as the duty payable if the land had been acquired directly.
