Australian Buyer Tax & Legal
Foreign investors typically hold via leasehold (Hak Pakai) as listed above.
Some buyers operating short-term rentals use PT PMA holding structure. This provides operational flexibility and quarterly tax filing only (no monthly reports).
Consult your Australian tax advisor on foreign property rules (CGT, rental income declaration).
Why Australians Prefer Off-Plan

Builder still owns land during construction. Your capital is tied only to your unit percentage.

Frequently asked questions
Can Australians really buy property in Indonesia?
Yes. Foreign buyers purchase via leasehold (Hak Pakai) for 25-30 years, renewable to 50 years total. No residency required. Title registered with BPN (Indonesia's land authority) and issued by a PPAT notary.
What does 8-14% gross yield mean?
Annual rental income divided by property price. A $180k unit earning $14,400-25,200 USD per year in rent returns 8-14%. This is gross; deduct tax, management, maintenance for net.
How long until I get the property title?
PPAT notary transfers and registers title at final handover (month 24-30 of construction). You receive the original title deed. BPN registration takes 1-2 weeks after notary execution.
Is a 30-year lease long enough?
Element Residence leases expire in 2055. Renewal is legally permitted; most Canggu projects negotiate renewal before expiry. Confirm renewal clause with legal advisor before signing.
What if I need to sell before 2055?
Resale market is liquid. Canggu units typically hold or appreciate 3-5% annually. You remain the leaseholder; the buyer assumes your lease remainder (30 years becomes 25 years, etc.).
Do I need to file Indonesian taxes every year?
If leasehold: minimal filing required. If using PT PMA holding (for rentals): quarterly tax filing only. Use a local accountant (~Rp 5-10M annually). Consult your Australian advisor on foreign income declaration.
What happens to my AUD/IDR rate locked at deposit?
Payment plan amounts are quoted in AUD (or converted fixed rate). You pay deposits and milestones in AUD; bank converts to IDR at time of transfer. Final payment is typically AUD-denominated.
Can I short-term rent a 1BR garden unit full-time?
Yes. Canggu zoning permits tourist accommodation. No rental cap. Management companies handle bookings (10-25% commission). Average occupancy 60-70% year-round.
