Vic: Small business irate over surging land tax
By Nick Lenaghan
MELBOURNE, March 8 AAP - Jim Ryan is closing his suburban Melbourne pub after his land
tax bill ballooned from $1,400 in 1999 to $38,000 this year.
"We are losing this business, and I can look everyone in the eye here, as a result
of land tax," an emotional Mr Ryan told a rally today.
He's not alone in his pain.
More than 150 small business people and investors gathered outside Mr Ryan's Whitehorse
Inn Hotel in Hawthorn to protest against the Victorian government's land tax.
