Feeling depressed. The cold and dark sucks. Cost of living sucks. Need a holiday but can’t afford one. Going to take a week off work in a few months but it’s not the same as going somewhere and getting away from it all. Pet boarding would cost heaps so even cheap isn’t on the cards. Health is shite also (cfs etc) which makes it hard to plan and do stuff.
Tax cuts sounded great til I got a land tax bill that had doubled because it’s how Dan andrew’s is paying back the Covid payout debts. (It had a nice letter with it to explain that). And I know there’s people who are in very very shit circumstances compared to me, so self compassion isn’t a thing.
If you got a land tax bill for the one property that you reside in (owner occupier/ppr), call the State Revenue Office and they can have it removed. You may need to provide proof it is the only property you own, and that you live in permanently, but they will explain that.
I used to work for the State Revenue Office of Victoria, specifically collecting and investigating land tax and payroll tax. Please contact them if this tax bill is for your PPR!
Edit: my ex-coworkers, the people on the phones, are so lovely as well. They’re used to senseless abuse, so if you’re polite they will love you!
I moved in with fiancé so it’s subject to land tax now, it’s the only house I own. Relationship is a bit dicey atm, sadly. Can see why women get divorced around age 40-50.

Isn’t PPR exempt from land tax?
