Queensland government shelves controversial land tax changes as treasurer defends policy
The Queensland government has shelved changes to land tax after the premier met with interstate leaders — but Treasurer Cameron Dick has continued to defend the policy.
The proposed changes, which were slated to come into effect next year, would have meant some people with properties in Queensland and interstate would have paid more tax on their land.
The amendments to the tax had already been legislated, which means they will now be deferred in Parliament.
The decision comes after opposition from other state and territory governments and the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ), which labelled the plan "illogical".
