Hundreds of thousands of Victorians will begin paying the state government’s new land tax this week in an effort to reverse the state’s COVID-19 debt.
A new report by the parliamentary budget office reveals it will bring in almost $1 billion more than was initially announced.
The COVID-19 debt levy has been defended by a Victoria Government Spokesperson as “temporary, targeted and above all, responsible”.
The Victorian Opposition has blasted the Allan government for punishing innocent civilians.
The state debt still remains a concern with the figure expected to reach $178 billion by 2027.
