Hidden taxes are hurting property affordability—and investor returns. With up to 30% of a new home’s cost going to government taxes, the impact is no longer ignorable. 

• In Victoria, 63% of property professionals now say taxes are the #1 concern 

• New taxes on BTR, student housing, and institutional investment are eroding confidence 

• Most of this tax burden doesn’t even reach infrastructure—just bureaucracy 

A new Procore/Property Council report shows a record-high number of experts calling out government taxation as the biggest threat to supply. These costs aren’t just stalling developers—they’re shrinking investor margins and slowing new builds. 

At Infinite Wealth, we help clients calculate true costs, restructure deals to reduce stamp duty impact, and identify locations with lower development overheads and better yield efficiency.
