How we use the property transfers information

We use the Real property transfers report (RPTR) to:

• expand our data matching with third-party reporter information
• support voluntary compliance by providing taxpayers with information about capital gains tax events that have occurred during the income year
• make this information available through pre-filling for self-preparers and to tax agents from 1 July 2017
• improve compliance for capital gains tax, goods and services tax and other taxable events
• match sales of new residential properties against goods and services tax (GST) at settlement records
• administer the Foreign Land Register
• improve the integrity of the foreign resident capital gains tax regime
• support data sharing between government entities.
