Our specialist international tax advisors cut through the complexity of global tax obligations, keeping you compliant, tax-efficient, and fully informed wherever in the world your affairs take you.
International Tax Advisory Services
International tax is complex, high-stakes, and constantly evolving. We provide specialist advice for expats, foreign investors, and Australian businesses with cross-border operations, backed by the broader Fortuna advisory team.
Expat tax advice: residency status, foreign income, and offshore asset obligations for Australians abroad.
Inpatriate tax: Australian tax obligations for foreign nationals arriving and working in Australia.
Foreign investment structuring: tax-effective structures for overseas investors entering the Australian market.
Double tax agreements: expert application of DTAs to minimise cross-border tax exposure.
Transfer pricing: intercompany arrangement structuring and documentation for multinational groups.
Australian subsidiary compliance: income tax, GST, payroll, and ASIC management for overseas groups.
Specialist Expertise, Not a Referral
Many accounting firms refer international tax matters elsewhere. We handle them directly, providing the technical depth typically associated with the Big 4 alongside the personal service of a trusted advisor who knows your complete financial picture.
Fully Connected Across Tax, Legal and Advisory
Cross-border tax decisions rarely exist in isolation. Our international tax specialists work alongside Fortuna's legal, accounting, and financial planning teams to ensure your global position is managed as a cohesive whole.
