Victoria Taxation

Online Resources
- Taxation records for Australia consist of rate and assessment books. While not a primary genealogical source, they can serve as a census substitute. Rate and assessment books have been kept from the late 1850s through the present. They are arranged by districts (shires) and alphabetically list names of the occupiers. Other details found in these books include the name of the owner, residence of the occupier, a description of the property and its value, and the date of payment and the amount paid.
