A fairer way to fund Victoria’s fire services - Premier of Victoria

A fairer way to fund Victoria’s fire services - Premier of Victoria:


 "Treasurer Michael O’Brien today announced further detail on how Victoria’s fairer Fire Services Property Levy will apply to properties following the abolition of the insurance-based levy and the unfair ‘tax on tax’ arrangements.

The Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission found the existing insurance-based levy was highly flawed, unfair and needed reform. Under the current system those property owners who choose not to insure, under insure or self-insure, make no (or an inadequate) contribution to funding our fire services."
