People across the state will now be able to access even more transactions using the NSW Government's MyServiceNSW Account with the platform expanded to include the ability to manage land tax obligations. The addition of Revenue NSW's Land Tax Online service to MyServiceNSW accounts allows people to now seamlessly move between paying or managing land tax to other services like renewing a driver licence or applying for cost-of-living support and vouchers.
Once linked, customers will be able to view or manage their land tax, lodge a return, request an exemption, access their notices of assessment, pay or set up a payment plan. People can also opt-in for digital notifications via their account, giving customers an alternative to paper notices and speeding up their delivery time from ten business days to just 48 hours. The migration to the MyServiceNSW Account delivers on Revenue NSW's customer-centric commitment and will help the 175,000 customers who own land in NSW and pay land tax stay on top of their obligations.
The move follows making the management of fines available through MyServiceNSW accounts in February 2023 with more than 36,000 people now having linked the fines service to their account. With more than 2.7 million logins into MyServiceNSW accounts each month to complete everyday transactions like renewing a Working with Children Check or applying for Digital Trade Licences the addition further cements the account as a one-stop-shop for government services.
Customers will be able to continue to manage their land tax obligations on the Revenue NSW website, in person at a Service NSW Service Centre, by calling 1300 139 816, with BPAY payments or via post. Land tax is an annual tax levied at the end of the calendar year on property which is above the land tax threshold. In most cases a principal place of residence is exempt, and other exemptions and concessions may apply.
