Taxation

The good news is Australia is a wonderful place to work and live. The bad news for ex-pats starts and finishes with taxation. The Australian tax system is very complex, general taxation is high and the authorities are quite aggressive in targeting Contractors and self-employed. It’s highly recommended to get expert advice on your financial situation if you are contracting or intend to contract in Australia.

There are so many options to choose from including:

* Salary Packaging

* Self Employed / Sole Trader / ABN

* Full Pay as You Go (PAYG)

* Proprietary Limited (Pty Ltd)

* PAYG with salary packaging

* Managed Trust * Hybrid Structure

* International / Overseas Management Structures

Typically for international contractors Living Away From Home Allowance (LAFHA) provides a major opportunity for reducing your tax burden. If you go through the most common and efficient structure – Salary Packaging – your situation is taken into consideration you can get relief for such things as a vehicle, transport, computer and mobile phone, training, and LAFHA. We’ll shortly be adding a calculator here to allow you to calculate how much you’d earn through such a system.
