Regulatory Compliance

Australian Tax Advisory

When running a business in Australia, especially as an international company, keeping on top of local tax laws and compliance requirements is critical. Australia is a highly regulated market, and mistakes can quickly lead to costly penalties. That is why it pays to have a trusted, qualified taxation partner by your side.

01

Product Overview

ABN Australia offers a comprehensive suite of taxation services designed to support international businesses operating in the Australian market.

Our team of registered tax agents works closely with clients to manage all core tax compliance requirements, ensuring accuracy, timeliness and full adherence to local laws.

We prepare and lodge income tax returns and financial statements for your Australian entity, taking care to meet all statutory obligations and deadlines. We also manage the preparation and lodgement of Business Activity Statements (BAS), helping you accurately report your goods and services tax (GST), pay as you go (PAYG) and other tax obligations on an ongoing basis.

In addition to compliance services, we provide practical tax advice tailored to your business needs — from structuring operations to minimising tax liabilities legally. For businesses eligible for tax refunds, we facilitate the process to help you recover entitlements efficiently. We also advise on international tax matters, supporting businesses with cross-border interests and ensuring alignment between Australian requirements and your global tax strategy.

Our offering is designed to simplify tax compliance for international businesses, giving you the confidence that your Australian operations are in expert hands.

Why It Matters

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) can impose significant late fees and penalties for non-compliance, including false or misleading statements, missed lodgements or failing to meet obligations.

For international businesses new to Australia, these requirements can seem daunting. By partnering with ABN Australia early in your market entry, you can be confident that your tax affairs are properly managed, helping you avoid unnecessary costs and stress.

Still have more questions? We have the answer.

What are the specific tax obligations and requirements for foreign or new companies operating in Australia?

Foreign or new companies must register for an ABN, and, depending on their activities, may also need to register for GST, PAYG withholding, and corporate income tax. Companies are also required to keep accurate records and lodge annual tax returns with the ATO.

Can taxation services assist with registering for tax purposes in Australia?

Yes. Professional taxation services, like those offered by ABN Australia, can assist with all tax registrations including ABN, GST, PAYG, and corporate tax, ensuring that businesses meet their compliance obligations from the start.

Are there any tax incentives or concessions available for foreign or new companies in Australia?

Yes. Depending on the industry and business activities, companies may be eligible for tax concessions such as the R&D Tax Incentive, export market development grants, or small business tax offsets. A taxation adviser can help assess eligibility and manage applications.

What are the potential tax implications of operating as a foreign company in Australia?

Foreign companies may be subject to Australian corporate tax on income derived from Australian sources. They may also face withholding taxes on dividends, interest, or royalties, depending on double taxation agreements between Australia and the home country. Proper structuring and tax planning can help minimise these risks.

Can taxation services assist with preparing and lodging tax returns and financial statements?

Yes. Taxation services include the preparation and lodgement of company tax returns, Business Activity Statements (BAS), and financial reports, ensuring compliance with the ATO and other regulatory requirements.
