Taxes
Australian taxation laws apply in the Northern Territory, so residents are subject to requirements relating to income tax, Goods and Services Tax (GST) and so on. The Australian Taxation Office has more information.
In addition, there are factors that are unique to the Northern Territory. Because the Northern Territory Government is committed to providing a supportive and efficient environment for businesses, the Territory offers:
- no land taxes
- one of the highest payroll tax thresholds
- fast tracked business operation approvals
- lowest developer contributions fees in Australia
- defined planning and environmental processes
- no fire service levy.
More information on Northern Territory taxes and duties is available from the Northern Territory Treasury.
