THE Victorian Government has introduced tax relief measures to help those affected by the bushfires.
Land tax is normally levied on investment properties or businesses with a land value over $250,000.
Businesses left unable to operate will also have their case reviewed.
"This new arrangement will help relieve the financial burden on land owners affected by the bushfires by allowing the SRO to identify those properties destroyed by the bushfires and offer tax relief," Mr Lenders said.
In further measures, the first $1050 of stamp duty on a vehicle for those families who lost one in the fires will be waived by the government.
People rebuilding their homes will also have the first $21,970 of stamp duty on their new home waived if they build that home on a different site.
This means no stamp duty would be paid on houses up to $500,000, Mr Lenders said.
People rebuilding on a property they already own, do not have to pay stamp duty.
Other fees relating to the administrative costs of building new homes and taking out titles will also be put on hold for bushfire victims.
