The Land Tax Act 1910 (Cth)[1] and the related Land Tax Assessment Act 1910 (Cth) were Acts of the Parliament of Australia which imposed a progressive land tax on the unimproved value of land. They were enacted in November 1910 by the Fisher Labour Government intent on breaking up a number of very large holdings of underutilised, arable land that was secured during the colonial period.[2]
