Has anyone taken any action regarding the recently advised land valuation hikes coming through for Queensland property? The increases are massive. My property at Gatton is increasing 130% !!

Can anyone tell me if they know about claiming purchase cost deductions (like pest inspection) in a situation where you subsequently decide to not proceed with the purchase? I’ve been told you can only claim the cost if you proceed with the purchase. Where property investment is a persons primary source of income, this doesn’t sound right.
