About the Webinar

In an increasingly globalised real estate market, property lawyers must navigate a complex web of tax and foreign investment regulations when it comes to real property transactions involving a foreign party. The tax rules surrounding these transactions require careful consideration and understanding to ensure compliance and mitigate potential risks. This session examines the intricacies of these rules including:

  • Navigating FIRB for a foreign purchaser and vendor dealing with a foreign purchaser – approval requirements, the application process and risks to third parties complicit in a purchaser’s breach of FIRB rules
  • A roundup of the foreign stamp duty surcharge positions across each State and Territory, including identifying which types of land are subject to foreign stamp duty charge.
  • Understanding the criteria and scope of the term ‘foreign person’ in relation to individuals, corporate entities and trustees, in both a stamp duty and foreign investment context
  • The impact of foreign CGT withholding tax on property transactions, including sales by foreign owners
  • Practical case studies
