Apply for a charitable land tax exemption

Step 1: Gather your information

Land owned or used by a charitable organisation may be exempt from land tax. You must give evidence of who owns the land and how it is used. These requirements are set out in Revenue Ruling LTA-009v2.

Step 3: Apply for the exemption

From the My Land Tax home screen:

1. Select ‘Properties’.
2. Select the relevant land tax account and assessment year.
3. In the ‘Amend property’ menu, select ‘I want to apply for another exemption’, then ‘Next’.
4. In the ‘Exemption type’ menu, select ‘Something else’.
5. Follow the process, entering your information and attaching documents.
6. On the ‘Refund’ screen, you can choose whether or not to provide your bank account details in case you are eligible for a refund.
7. Review the ‘Summary’ page and select ‘Submit’ when everything is correct.
