Business Investment Advice In Europe, Asia and the United States

Accountants.com.au can help clients establish or invest in businesses in areas of Europe, US, NZ and Asia through our experienced financial advisory associates in each of those markets.

We work directly with these advisors and ensure that advice is not given which could conflict with your Australian tax position.

For example, the advice to establish a non-resident trust structure as opposed to a company would raise more compliance complications with the ATO.

It would also increase the chances of flagging an audit with the ATO. It may also be better to establish one structure as opposed to another if the relevant country has a Double Tax Agreement with Australia.

We will liaise with you on their behalf and stay in the communication loop to avoid any difficult or incorrect decisions.

The financial management benefit to the clients are –

You are certain that the overseas adviser will liaise with us rather than give you advice of an ad hoc nature without any thought to the international tax implications.

We charge less and provide much better service than going to one of the Big Four firms.
