    Hi All,

    My mother-in-law has purchased an investment property in Australia. She lives in Europe and is not an Australian resident for tax purposes. I understand that she needs to lodge a tax return for the income she earns in Australia. Can anyone recommend an account experienced in these matters to assist her with preparing this? I have done a few google searches and found nothing. Somebody in Brisbane would be preferred.

    Thanks in advance!

    Is the property "new" ? If not, is she an Australian citizen ?
    The Foreign Investment Review Board rules on foreign ownership need to have been complied with. The ATO is now regulating this role for the FIRB

    I deal with a large number of offshore taxpayers involving property and welcome your direct contact to discuss (no obligation)

    Paul, thanks for the response. Yes she received FIRB approval prior to purchase. Another member PM'd me an accountancy firm who I have already engaged.
