If you own property in Qld and have never paid land tax before, well, that could all change with new laws being passed in June of this year. The Qld Government has closed a loophole that we have had in place for some time, where interestate land holdings were never taken into account in assessing whether land tax is payable on Qld landholdings. As of 1 January 2023, these changes will come into effect, where interstate land holdings will be taken into account by the Commissioner, in determining whether a land owner in Qld is over the land tax thresholds set, and then liable to pay land tax. And land owners will be required to notify the Commissioner of their interstate land holdings otherwise face civil penalties of close to $15,000. An important and significant segment to listen to, to be up to speed with how these changes may affect you. It will be a space to watch whether the other states and territories in Australia will follow suit.

The show was designed to give back to the community which Despina did in droves. Her weekly radio show was broadcast on the Gold Coast each Thursday on 104.1FM Gold Coast/Tweed & 103.5FM Northern Rivers and had a substantial following since 2020. Despina talked about various hot topics at local, state and federal level, and answered the questions that ordinary Australians want to hear. And the best part, it was free.
In 2024, due to programming changes within the radio station itself, Despina then moved her radio show to being solely online on her Youtube channel: Despina Priala
Each week she brings another insightful episode of Talking Law for her loyal listeners and the greater Australian community.
Knowledge is power and Talking Law is very much about empowering the ordinary Australian with information that they should be aware of to help them in every day life.
All episodes of Talking Law with Despina are uploaded on the Priala Legal website and onto our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWmG7z-wIbsHY9KhFfrrWwQ
