#### 14‑210 Whether an entity is a relevant foreign resident
Is the entity a foreign resident at the time of the transaction?
(1) This subsection applies to an entity at the time a transaction is entered into if, at that time:
(a) you know that the entity is a foreign resident; or
(b) you reasonably believe that the entity is a foreign resident; or
(c) you do not reasonably believe that the entity is an Australian resident, and either:
(i) the entity has an address outside Australia (according to any record that is in your possession, or is kept or maintained on your behalf, about the transaction); or
(ii) you are authorised to provide a related financial benefit to a place outside Australia (whether to the entity or to anyone else); or
(d) the entity has a connection outside Australia of a kind specified in the regulations; or
(e) the \*CGT asset to which the transaction relates is:
(i) \*taxable Australian real property; or
(ii) an \*indirect Australian real property interest, the holding of which causes a company title interest (within the meaning of Part X of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936) to arise.
> Note: This subsection is relevant to whether you must pay an amount to the Commissioner under section 14‑200.
Exception—the entity gives you a clearance certificate
(2) Despite subsection (1), that subsection does not apply to the entity in relation to the transaction if:
(a) before you pay the Commissioner under section 14‑200 in relation to the \*CGT asset to which the transaction relates, the entity gives you a certificate about the entity that:
(i) was issued under subsection 14‑220(1); and
(ii) is for a period covering the time the transaction is entered into; and
(b) the CGT asset is of a kind described in paragraph (1)(e) of this section.
Exception—the entity gives you a residency or interests declaration
(3) Despite subsection (1), that subsection does not apply to the entity in relation to the transaction if:
(a) before you pay the Commissioner under section 14‑200 in relation to the \*CGT asset to which the transaction relates, the entity gives you a declaration that:
(i) is about the entity or the CGT asset; and
(ii) was given under subsection 14‑225(1) or (2); and
(iii) is for a period covering the time the transaction is entered into; and
(b) when you are given the declaration, you do not know the declaration to be false; and
(c) for a declaration given under subsection 14‑225(1)—the CGT asset is not of a kind described in paragraph (1)(e) of this section.
