Register of Foreign Ownership of Australian assets

The Register of Foreign Ownership of Australian Assets (the Register), which commenced on 1 July 2023, amalgamated the existing registers for agricultural and residential land and water entitlements and expanded registration requirements to include commercial land, business interests and mining or production tenements and exploration tenements.\r\n\r\nThe Commissioner of Taxation is the Registrar responsible for administering the Register and reporting annually on its operation.\r\nThe Register data published here includes aggregated statistics on Australian assets held by foreign persons (including temporary residents and entities with foreign ownership of 20% or more) as at 30 June 2024.\r\n\r\nThe Register provides a complete picture of foreign ownership in agricultural land and water interests. Details of foreign ownership of residential land have been collected since 1 July 2016 and provide insight into trends over time but do not provide a complete stocktake. For assets introduced at the commencement of the Register (commercial land, business interests and mining or production tenements and exploration tenements), information is only provided for the 12 months to 30 June 2024.\r\n\r\nData relating to residential land is updated periodically by the ATO to reflect registrations that may be added or removed by the Registrar as a result of third-party data matching.\r\n\r\nFor further information on the Register of Foreign Ownership of Australian Asset see: https://www.ato.gov.au/General/Foreign-investment-in-Australia/Register-of-Foreign-Ownership-of-Australian-Assets/

《澳大利亚资产外国所有权登记册》（Register of Foreign Ownership of Australian Assets，简称本登记册）于2023年7月1日正式启动，整合了原有的农业用地、住宅用地及水权登记系统，并将登记要求扩展至商业用地、企业权益、采矿租约以及勘探租约。

澳大利亚税务专员担任本登记册的登记官，负责管理该登记册并每年发布其运营情况报告。

本次发布的登记册数据涵盖截至2024年6月30日，由外国自然人（含临时居民）以及外国持股比例达20%及以上的实体所持有的澳大利亚资产汇总统计信息。

本登记册可完整呈现农业用地及水权益领域的外国所有权情况。住宅用地外国所有权相关信息自2016年7月1日起开始收集，可用于追踪长期趋势，但无法提供完整的存量盘点数据。对于本登记册启动时新增纳入的资产类别（商业用地、企业权益、采矿或生产租约以及勘探租约），仅提供截至2024年6月30日的12个月内相关信息。

澳大利亚税务局（Australian Taxation Office，简称ATO）会定期更新住宅用地相关数据，以反映登记官通过第三方数据匹配流程新增或撤销的登记信息。
