Income Tax Assessment Act 1997
A foreign resident can disregard a capital gain or loss unless the relevant CGT asset is a direct or indirect interest in Australian real property, or relates to a business carried on by the foreign resident through a permanent establishment in Australia.
Special rules apply for individuals who were Australian residents but have become foreign residents (see also Subdivision 104-I ) and for foreign resident beneficiaries of fixed trusts.
There are also rules dealing with what happens when a foreign resident becomes an Australian resident.
