While the impending ATO legislation regarding property sales of $750,000 or more only has tax implications for foreign residents the impact of its implementation actually falls on all sellers of properties over $750,000.

The below is an excerpt from our industry body the AICWA regarding these changes that are due to take effect on July 1st. In short from July all sellers of property with a sales price of $750,000 or above will need to provide a clearance certificate from the ATO that proves they are Australian Residents and therefore exempt from the 12.5% Foreign Resident Capital Gains Withholding. If this certificate is not provided then the ATO has powers to withhold 12.5% of the sales proceeds.

As with all new and updated legisaltion, here at C&C Conveyancing we will advise and assist all affected seller 's to ensure complaince with these new laws.

AICWA Notice

"On 1 July 2017, the proposed changes to the Foreign Resident Capital Gains Withholding (FRCGW) rate and threshold will take effect.

These changes will apply to contracts entered into on, or after 1 July 2017 for real property disposals where the contract price is $750,000 and above. The FRCGW tax rate will also change from the existing rate of 10% to 12.5%.
The existing $2 million threshold and 10% rate will still apply for any contracts entered into before 1 July 2017 even if they are not due to settle until after 1 July 2017.

The change to the threshold from $2 million to $750,000 will result in many more properties requiring a clearance certificate for exemption of the withholding. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) can only grant clearance certificates to a seller who is an Australian resident.

Australian resident sellers of real property with a market value of $750,000 or above must apply for a clearance certificate to ensure no funds are withheld from their sale proceeds.
Important: If the seller does not provide the clearance certificate before the settlement of the transaction the purchaser will be required to withhold 12.5% of the purchase price and pay this to the ATO.

Further information and the Foreign resident capital gains withholding certificate application form can be obtained by visiting the ATO website"

An interesting read and important one for sellers and buyers alike. A monopoly is never advantageous for consumers.

A great article on why Conveyancer's are an important part of any property transaction.

How conveyancing works Conveyancers are an important part of the property process for most people, yet many aren't sure how to find a great one, or fully understand what they do. We break it down in simple terms.

C&C Conveyancing would like to wish all their clients a very Merry Christmas and we are looking to a happy and joyful New Year.

Why choose an Independent Settlement Agent?

An independent settlement agency is a conveyancer that has no affiliation to any:
•Real Estate Agency
•Developer or
•Financial Institution or Broker

In layman's terms an independent Settlement Agent is one who is not owned by any other party nor do they pay any business or individual fees to refer their work to the agency.

This means that they at all times act solely in the best interest of their clients without interference from one of the above third parties. A potential conflict may arise when an outside party refers a client to an affiliated settlement agent and as such may have an influence over the transaction. By choosing an independent Settlement Agent such as C&C Conveyancing you can do so with the knowledge that we are working for no interest other than our clients.
