The Foreign resident capital gains withholding (FRCGW) rules are changing from 1 January 2025.
Currently, Australian residents selling property must provide a clearance certificate to the purchaser at or before settlement to avoid having 12.5% withheld from a property sale where the value of the property is $750,000 or more.
Under the changes:
the withholding rate will increase from 12.5% to 15%
the $750,000 property value threshold will be removed, and the withholding rules will apply to all property sales.
The changes apply to contracts entered into on or after 1 January 2025.
