Foreign-owner surcharge
A 2% Foreign Investor Land Tax Surcharge applies to residential land held by foreign persons in Tasmania.

Did Tasmania really raise the land-tax threshold in 2024?

When is TAS land tax assessed?
On 1 July each year (start of the financial year). Most other states use 31 December or 30 June - Tasmania is unusual.
Does Tasmania have a foreign-owner surcharge?

Are short-stay holiday rentals taxable in Tasmania?
Yes - if the property is not your PPOR (you stay elsewhere most of the year), it counts as taxable investment land. Tasmania has been actively tightening short-stay rules including a new short-stay levy.
