The parking space levy was introduced in some of the major commercial precincts in Sydney with an objective to reduce traffic congestion. Parking space levy aims to discourage car use in key Sydney business districts and the revenue collected is directed to help meet the cost of building better public transport infrastructure.
You may have to pay the annual levy if you own a residential or non-residential off-street parking space located in leviable districts.
Refer to the maps on the Transport NSW website to see whether your parking space is in one of the leviable areas.
A different rate applies to each category. The annual parking space levy rates are published in the Government Gazette annually on 30 June. Refer to parking space levy rates for information on the current and prior year rates.
Parking space levy rates
The parking space levy rates for parking spaces owned as at 1 July 2025 are:
Category 1 areas: Sydney, North Sydney and Milsons Point
$3,030
Category 2 areas: Bondi Junction, Chatswood, Parramatta and St Leonards
$1,080
The above rates are applicable to the 2026 tax year assessment which is calculated based on liable parking spaces in the preceding tax year from 1 July 2024 – 30 June 2025.
When you acquire a parking space within a leviable district, you must register your ownership as soon as you become the owner of the space. If you purchase a parking space during the year, your liability will begin from 1 July after acquisition.
Owners registered for parking space levy must report certain changes to Revenue NSW.

Advise us of any changes to parking space levy holdings
You must advise us of any changes in the ownership of a parking space within a leviable district.
If you elected to pay by instalments, payments must continue even if the car space is sold prior to the last instalment due date.
If an owner does not advise Revenue NSW that they have sold their car space, liability for the parking space levy will remain in their name and they will continue to receive an annual notice of assessment.
If you have overpaid your parking space levy you will be eligible for a refund. Please log in to your parking space levy account to nominate the correct bank account for your refund.
If you do not lodge an annual return by the due date, a notice of assessment will be issued at the full rate, and you will not have the option to pay in instalments.
If you do not make a payment by the due date, interest will be applied. Daily interest is calculated on any overdue balance. Penalty tax may also be imposed.
Using the parking space levy online services, you can lodge a return for the current tax year or up to 4 previous tax years.
As part of the annual return process, you may be asked to submit supporting documentation. After submitting your annual return, if you wish to provide additional documents or we request further information, you can provide them to us online.
