Expatriate and residency tax
Tax rules for internationally mobile individuals, their family members and associated structures can be complex. Our international tax specialists can help you navigate these challenges with confidence, ensuring that you and your family are properly prepared for potential tax implications as you move around the world.
Effective international tax planning extends well beyond the determination of taxable income. It includes the proper management of tax residency status and related compliance obligations, a consideration of the impact on associated companies, trusts and superannuation funds, as well as regular monitoring and updating of estate planning arrangements. It also involves managing disputes with revenue authorities.
We help our clients by not only understanding the complex Australian tax landscape but, perhaps more importantly, the way in which Australia’s international tax rules interact with rules and regulations outside of Australia.
With a comprehensive global approach, our clients can leverage our strong personal relationships with advisors across the world, particularly within our Baker Tilly International network, to manage their global tax obligations seamlessly.
