A new, enhanced fee estimator has been developed to provide improved fee estimates for different types of foreign investment applications.
When the fee estimator is accessed via the FIRB Application Portal, applicants can convert their fee estimate into an application using the new convert to an application feature.
Things to note about application fees
- Persons are required to pay a fee for each application made or notice given under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 2015 (limited exceptions apply)
- The statutory timeframe for making a decision will not start until the fee has been paid in full.
- Where one agreement covers more than one action, the single highest fee for those actions will apply.
- For more information on the fees applying to foreign investment applications, see Guidance Note 30 (business fees).
How to access the estimator
The fee estimator is available on the FIRB website.
How to use the estimator
A quick reference guide has been developed to help you obtain a fee estimate for your foreign investment application.
Disclaimer
The final fee that applies to a foreign investment application is calculated based on the details of the submitted application.
This fee estimator provides an estimate of a fee for non-residential real estate applications only. For information regarding residential real estate application fees, contact FIRB Residential at the Australian Taxation Office.
