The office has since taken responsibility for approvals of foreign investment in residential real estate and a register of foreign investors in agricultural land.<\/p>\n<p>The ATO forms a crucial wing of the initiative to Strengthen Australia\u2019s Foreign Investment Framework.<\/p>\n<p>More than 1,500 penalty notices have been issued to property owners who had failed to undergo vetting by the Foreign Investment Review Board before buying their homes. Notices have also been given to those who breached conditions of approved ownership.<\/p>\n<p>The 2017-18 period saw the forced sale of 131 properties, estimated to be valued at AUD133.9
