Australian Tax Compliance

Stay fully compliant in Australia, with a partner who understands your local and global context.

01

Product Overview

Stay compliant. Stay confident.

For international companies operating in Australia, tax compliance can quickly become complex. Different rules, multiple reporting obligations, and strict deadlines can make it difficult to stay on top of everything.

When operating in Australia, foreign-owned companies typically need to comply with:

  • Company Income Tax – usually 25 to 30% for foreign-owned entities

  • Goods and Services Tax (GST) – 10% on most sales and imports

  • PAYG Withholding – for employee and contractor payments

  • Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) – on non-cash employee benefits

  • Transfer Pricing Reporting – for related-party international transactions


At ABN Australia, we make compliance simple. Our experienced tax and accounting team handles all Australian corporate tax obligations for foreign-owned entities, so you can focus on running your business. We make it easy to stay compliant while freeing your team to focus on growth.

02

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.
