​A land tax search provides the following information relating to land tax: 

• For the vendor and the purchaser: the amount of land tax payable for the property for the financial year (with agreement, this will help you to calculate how much lad tax can be recovered by the vendor from the purchaser on settlement).
  
• For the vendor: the total amount of land tax outstanding on the property you are selling and on all other properties on your land tax account (this amount must be paid before finalising the sale/transfer);  
  

Searches are based on the information available on the land tax database at the date and time of the search. A certificate is issued which includes the date and time of the search.
