Farmers urged to check whether land falls within new tax zones

The draft RZLT maps published by local authorities allow landowners, including farmers, to see if their land is within the scope of the tax.

Landowners near built-up areas have been advised to check new maps published by all 31 local authorities, to see if their land comes within the scope of the new Residential Zoned Land Tax (RZLT).

The RZLT is designed to prompt residential development by landowners, including farmers, of land that is zoned for residential or mixed-use (including residential), and that is serviced.
