The Valuer-General determines the average percentage change in site values and the corresponding Index Value relevant to the adjustment of land tax thresholds. These are published as a Notice in the Gazette. The Commissioner of State Taxation publishes a Notice in the Gazette advising the adjusted land tax thresholds for each financial year.

Section 8A of the Land Tax Act 1936 provides that, based on figures provided by the Valuer-General, the land tax thresholds are to be indexed by the average percentage change in site values (refer to Information Circular No. 17).
