‘Missed the mark’: Victoria’s new property tax criticised for targeting Airbnbs

The Victorian government has “missed the mark” with its new property tax which targets Airbnb and holiday homes, says Airbnb Australia Head of Policy Michael Crosby. Mr Crosby’s comments come after Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas announced the new tax, much to the surprise of his own party and even his new Premier Jacinta Allan. “Airbnb has always supported the idea of a sustainable visitor levy,” he told Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood. “But we’ve always said that needs to be at a fairly broad rate, at about five per cent or less. “On top of that, we think the fact that this is just a short-term rental levy is a mistake – it should be a broader base to actually make it fair.”
