Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Regulation 2015 (Cth)

Foreign persons have additional register requirements to those in Division 3 of Part 7A of the Act (see the additional requirements in Division 2 of this Part).

Some of these additional requirements relate to actions covered by Part 5 of this instrument. The other additional requirements relate to actions covered by exemption certificates.

Some other notification requirements for actions will only apply if there are no register requirements for those actions (see Division 3 of this Part).

Register requirements in Part 7A of the Act, or in this Part, will not apply in relation to some kinds of interests in Australian land or to some persons (see the exemptions in Division 4 of this Part).

The Registrar may appoint certain ATO staff to be infringement officers, and the Treasurer may extend the time for giving register notices (see Division 5 of this Part).
