Example of how a family in Victoria can take a long travel adventure overseas but Queensland property owners cannot without punishing taxes.

EXAMPLE OF HOW QUEENSLAND PROPERTY OWNERS ARE DISADVANTAGED FROM OTHER STATES WHERE AUSTRALIAN PROPERTY OWNERS CAN TRAVEL WITH IMPUNITY

Please read and then watch the video below:

I just watched this story televised on Channel 10's The Project about an AirBnB disaster story. Terrible what happened. Over $20,000 in damage. But at least this family who leased out their property are from Victoria. They took off on a 10 month overseas adventure for them and the kids.

You see, that's something Queensland property owners CANNOT do. You need to reduce that to under 6 months. And hope and pray nobody gets sick or injured that prevents you getting back before the 6 month clock alarm rings.

Otherwise, you are going to pay dearly with the MASSIVE special rate Land Tax and Absentee Surcharge.  And that is something most Australian owners of property in Queensland cannot afford.

A $20,000 tax bill is worse.  Why?  Because unlike a damage bill, this terrible experience with dodgy tenants won't likely be repeated. That means they and others owning outside QLD can rent their homes out and take that travel adventure overseas - enriching the experience and minds of their children.

But the QLD taxes stay around your neck forever charging you EVERY TIME you exceed 6 months.
Queensland property owners are being treated like children who need to be home in time by their Labor 'parents' or be punished.

Be warned - Queensland government monitor your immigration movements and tally up the absent periods.  So don't think you could get away with it.  Plus, not notifying the Office of State Treasury of your extended absence could attract further fines and interest charged too.

Thanks Dictator Palaszczuk and Curtis Pitt and the rest of QLD Labor cronies for ruining and restricting our freedoms and lives.

I need to say I envy people like this who have freedom of movement and impunity. Unlike us.
