Paying your assessment

Pay in full

If you choose to pay in full, please ensure you do so by the due date shown on your Land Tax Assessment.

Pay in instalments

If you choose to pay by instalments, your first instalment may include:

  • Any remaining instalments for your previous land tax assessment.
  • Any unpaid land tax for previous financial years, including where a land tax assessment has not been previously issued.

These will be reflected in the amount payable from previous years column on your assessment.

Important: If any of the instalments are not paid by specified due date, this may result in the unpaid remainder of the full land tax becoming immediately due and payable together with the imposition of penalty tax and interest charged (if applicable) on the full unpaid amount.

Changing your payment schedule

The following options are available to support you in meeting your land tax obligations.

  • By default, the first instalment on your current year's Land Tax Assessment includes one-quarter of your that year's land tax plus any amount payable from prior years.  The remaining three-quarter's of the current year's land tax balance will be equally divided over instalments 2, 3, and 4.  This means that Instalment 1 may be higher than the other instalment amounts.

    However, you can request to pay your land tax equally over the 4 instalments.

    For example, your current year's Land Tax Assessment is $1,000, but you still have $800 remaining from prior years. By default, your existing instalments would be as follows:

    Instalment 1 Instalment 2 Instalment 3 Instalment 4
    $1,050 $250 $250 $250

    If you choose to pay equally over your 4 instalments, they would look like this:

    Instalment 1 Instalment 2 Instalment 3 Instalment 4
    $450 $450 $450 $450

    To pay your land tax over 4 equal instalments:

    • Please complete the online Payment of Land Tax form and select Pay over 4 instalments prior to the due date shown. You will need your ownership number and due date, which can be found on the top right corner of your Land Tax Assessment.

    Once your request is processed you will receive a confirmation email including details of your revised instalment amounts and due dates.

  • If you require a longer payment plan, our Debt Management Services Team can assist you.

    To start the process:

    You will need your ownership number and due date, which can be found on the top right corner of your Land Tax Assessment.

    You will also need to provide details about:

    • How much you can pay
    • How often you can make payments

    We may ask for additional supporting information. If your request is approved, you will receive a confirmation email with details of your revised payment plan and new due dates.  Conditions may apply.

  • You can make more frequent payments (for example, monthly, fortnightly or weekly) using the payment reference. If you choose to make smaller payments, you must ensure the full amount of the instalment is paid by the instalment due date or contact us for an extension.

    • Making alternative payment arrangements

    If you are concerned about making a payment on time or expect to have difficulty paying, please contact RevenueSA on (08) 8372 7534 before the due date shown on your Land Tax Assessment to discuss alternative payment options that may better suit your circumstances.

    Interest and penalty tax

    A 25% penalty tax can be charged in other situations of late or non-payment.

    A penalty levy of 75% of the amount of unpaid land tax can be charged where payment of land tax has been deliberately avoided.

    The Commissioner of State Taxation may exercise discretion to reduce the 25% penalty tax to 5% penalty tax on the outstanding land tax amount if the full outstanding amount is paid by the due date.

    Interest may also be charged on unpaid tax on a daily basis from the due date until the date the land tax is paid.

    Find out more about interest and penalty tax.
