The main questions to consider:
- Am I required to establish an entity in Australia from which to trade, if so what type?
- Will I have an Australian establishment from which my business would trade?
- Should I set up a branch or subsidiary of my overseas business?
- Am I supplying goods or services to Australia?
- What tax issues and business registrations do I need to consider?
- How do I set up an Australian business?
- What are my obligations as an employer and the employee’s taxation requirements?
- What are my responsibilities as a business owner?
- What are my responsibilities?
- Any other factors that I would need to consider when doing business in Australia?
Once again tax residency is fundamental to determine who has taxing rights over the Australian business profits.
