What Investors Need to Know
The Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) has released its updated fee schedule for the 2025-26 financial year. These changes affect all foreign investors seeking approval for residential and commercial property acquisitions in Australia.
Key Changes for Residential Property
Application fees for residential property have been adjusted to reflect current market conditions. The tiered fee structure now includes additional brackets for high-value properties, with fees calculated based on property value thresholds.
For properties valued under $1 million, fees start at $4,400. Properties between $1-2 million incur fees of $8,900, scaling up to $1.1 million for acquisitions over $40 million.
