Foreign persons are required to pay a fee for each application made, or notice given under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (the Act). The fee for a notice or application will generally depend on the value and kind of action that has been taken or is proposed to be taken.
Fees are generally payable at the time an application or notice is lodged. For most applications, the statutory timeframe of 30 days for deciding on an application or notification will not start until the correct fee has been paid.
