Doing Business in Australia for Foreign Enterprises

Australia is an ideal destination for foreign enterprises seeking to start a business, connect with established enterprises, or expand further into the Asian-Pacific market. The country’s affluent and well-regulated corporate and financial market is ideal for those venturing into the business landscape within the Oceania region.

Regarded as one of the world’s easiest countries to establish a business, it boasts numerous government incentives for various industries, a diverse and well-educated talent pool, and close proximity to leading and robust markets in Asia-Pacific.

Company Incorporation in Australia

Australian corporate laws require entrepreneurs who are planning to invest and establish a business in the country to register as a Registered Foreign Company with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC). 

Foreign investors can choose among the four business entity types available:

  • Private Limited Liability Company (Pty Ltd)
  • Branch Office
  • Representative Office
  • Shelf Company

Depending on your business needs, choosing the right business structure that fully caters to your operations can help increase your chances of securing a successful business venture in Australia.

Corporate Taxation and Government Incentives in Australia

When setting up a business in Australia, it is best to consider the tax rules and regulations surrounding your business. Tax obligations vary depending on your company’s type of business entity, the number of employees, and the fringe benefits offered to your employees.

There are several types of taxation in Australia that are generally applied to all establishments in the country. These taxes are administered federally by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and state-based taxes. Below are the following tax types:

  • Income tax for business
  • Capital gains tax (CGT)
  • Fringe benefits tax (FBT)
  • Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) withholding
  • PAYG installments
  • Goods and services tax (GST)
  • Fuel tax credits
  • Wine equalization tax
  • Luxury car tax
  • Payroll tax
  • Land tax

Moreover, the full company tax rate for businesses in Australia is 30%. However, you can significantly reduce your taxes through tax deductions by claiming business expenses during your tax returns. ATO and the Australian government also provide numerous tax incentives, such as the R&D Tax Incentive, to investors doing business in the country.
