International Tax
International Tax Specialists for the Creative and Technology Industries
Electra Frost Accounting are Australian International Tax Specialists for the Creative and Technology Industries… a rare combination of expertise. We empathise with small businesses needing affordable and high quality advice.
We offer an Initial Tax Review by video conference, for those who have simpler international tax advisory needs than large-scale businesses and investors, but who still require specialist advice on their circumstances.
If you’re earning foreign income, doing business overseas or online, entering Australia or leaving indefinitely – speak with us. All meetings are held on video. All tax implications can be considered, including Business Structuring, GST, Capital Gains Tax and Superannuation. We can also work with your overseas accountant to ensure that your worldwide tax is in good order.
Careful planning and structuring may save you paying unnecessary tax.
If you’re planning to work overseas:
Before you leave it’s very important to know how to report correctly to the Tax Office . Your overseas income may not be exempt from Australian tax and there are steps to take if you expect the ATO to consider you a non-resident for tax purposes.
If you are leaving Australia permanently:
You will need a Tax Plan for your Australian based business activities, assets subject to Capital Gains Tax and Australian sourced income from investments. Before you leave, we can review your assets and advise you on the tax treatment and best possible strategies.
Before commencing business overseas:
You need to understand some complex rules. Australian residents can be taxed on the income of their overseas business under the Controlled Foreign Corporations laws. If your Australian business transacts with related entities overseas, consideration must be given to the transfer pricing rules to ensure that profits are correctly determined for each jurisdiction.
If you are new to Australia:
We have the expertise to give you sound advice on setting up a business, tax obligations, registrations and dealing with the government agencies. We can liaise with your immigration lawyer to ensure that your status is properly understood for tax planning.
Overseas tax lodgments:
We cannot lodge your overseas tax returns, however if you are an existing client we may refer you to an appropriate accountant in our network and even deal with them on your behalf if you wish. We work with our clients’ overseas accountants to ensure correct outcomes and avoid double taxation.
