ACT layers
An ACT property may require review of owner consent, the lease or tenancy structure, unit-title rules, planning and building requirements, insurance, tax and the short-term rental accommodation levy. The levy does not approve the use. Check ACT Revenue Office guidance for liable booking arrangements, rate, registration, returns, payment, exclusions and records. Obtain tax advice for the operator's structure.
Territory and building checks
Identify the territory planning and lease conditions for the address, existing approvals, any unit plan rules and operational impacts such as access, parking and noise. Use written property-specific evidence and qualified advice where classification or permitted use is unclear.
Financial and record controls
Include levy treatment, platform and direct bookings, cancellations and adjustments in the accounting workflow. Reconcile booking data to returns and maintain evidence. Recheck the official rate and administration rather than embedding a permanent assumption in the calculator.
