Waar Australië past in een structuur

Gebruikelijke rol · Real operating base in Asia-Pacific

An Australian company is a real, fully taxed operating base for Asia-Pacific trade, mining and resources, or property. It pays 30% company tax, or 25% if it's a smaller company with turnover under AUD 50m and mostly active income. People pick it for the market and the credibility, never the tax rate, and Australia has full rules on profits held in foreign companies, pricing between group companies and over-borrowing.

Waar het van afhangtAt least one director must live in Australia, a strict legal rule where a stand-in director takes on real liability, and foreign buyers of land or businesses above certain values need FIRB approval before signing.

Een bankrekening openen

CBA, Westpac, ANZ, NAB and Macquarie serve businesses, with strong online banking and instant local payments. Foreign-owned companies must have a director who lives in Australia — a strict legal requirement — and directors need a Director Identification Number.

Zo werkt de belasting hier

30% company tax, cut to 25% for smaller companies with turnover under AUD 50m and mostly active (not investment) income. Capital gains are taxed as income, with a 50% discount for individuals who held the asset for over twelve months. 'Franking credits' stop dividends being taxed twice for residents. GST (sales tax) is 10%.

Echte aanwezigheid, en wie de eigenaren kan inzien

At least one director must normally live in Australia. Company officers and addresses are searchable publicly on ASIC. Foreign investment in land, farming and sensitive sectors needs approval from FIRB (the Foreign Investment Review Board). Australia has full rules on profits in foreign companies (CFC), pricing between group companies and over-borrowing (thin capitalisation).
