The FIRB (Foreign Investment Review Board) fee is a type of fee applied to investments from foreigners in Australian real estate. Specifically, foreigners are required to pay a FIRB fee when placing a deposit or purchasing a property in Australia. This fee typically increases with the value of the property and its intended use.

Generally, FIRB utilizes a fee schedule based on the property value and type (such as residential, land, business, etc.). The FIRB fee aims to control and ensure that investments from foreigners do not have significant impacts on the Australian real estate market and national interests. For specific information on fee rates, it is advisable to check the current FIRB regulations and fee schedule published on the FIRB website.
