AU Australia property term

Principal Residence Land Tax Exemption

Western Australia

Plain-English definition

A WA land-tax exemption that can apply when eligible privately owned land is used as the owner's primary residence at the relevant assessment time.

Why this matters to a foreign buyer

The exemption has ownership, occupancy and timing tests. Company and trust ownership is generally treated differently, so do not assume living in the property is enough.
