Session 13.4: Tapped out on Treaties and TARP

Speaker: Andrew de Wijn, Victorian Bar

Foreign Investors with capital gains on significant investments in Australia should be aware of the current landscape in Taxable Australian Real Property (TARP). This session will explore:

• The key decisions in this area, including RCF

• The interaction between Division 855 and Australia’s Double Tax Agreements

• The ATO’s perspective on these issues

• The steps the ATO is likely to take to manage any ‘risk to revenue’; and

• What taxpayers faced with an assertion that tax ought to be paid upfront can do to manage their risk.
