What We Cover

International Tax Made Clear

Every cross-border tax situation we handle — explained simply.

Expat Tax Advice

Australians living and working overseas — we advise on your Australian tax obligations, residency status, and how to structure your affairs correctly while abroad.

Australian Tax Residency

Your tax residency status determines everything — we assess your situation clearly and advise on the tax implications of being a resident, non-resident, or temporary resident.

Double Tax Treaties

Australia has tax treaties with many countries to prevent double taxation. We advise on how these apply to your situation and structure things to take advantage of them.

Cross-Border Business Structures

Operating a business across multiple countries? We advise on the right structure — minimising tax while staying compliant in each jurisdiction.

Transfer Pricing

Transactions between related entities in different countries must be priced at arm's length. We advise on transfer pricing obligations and help you stay compliant.

Foreign Income & Assets

Australian residents are taxed on worldwide income. We advise on how to correctly declare and structure foreign income, investments, and assets.

Who We Help

Anyone Whose Life Crosses Borders

International tax affects more people than you might think. If you've lived, worked, invested, or done business in more than one country — you probably need advice.

The most common mistake we see is people assuming their home country handles everything. It rarely does. Getting your cross-border position right early saves significant tax and avoids compliance issues down the track.

FAQ

Your Questions Answered

It depends on your residency status. If you're still considered an Australian tax resident, you're taxed on worldwide income and need to lodge. If you've become a non-resident, different rules apply. The residency determination is crucial — and it's more complex than most people realise. We assess your specific situation on your first free call.

Australia has double tax treaties with many countries specifically to prevent this. Under these treaties, tax paid in one country can often be credited against your liability in the other. The details depend on which countries are involved and the nature of your income — we'll explain exactly how it applies to you.

When you re-establish Australian tax residency, certain assets are treated as having been acquired at their market value on the date you become a resident again — which can have significant CGT implications. There's also the question of how to handle foreign pensions, investments, and superannuation. We help you plan your return to minimise your tax exposure.

Cross-border business structures need to be carefully designed — including where the business is effectively managed and controlled, how profits are allocated between jurisdictions, and transfer pricing obligations. We design structures that are both tax-efficient and compliant in each country you operate in.
