Tax Advice
In Australia it is compulsory for most people to complete an annual tax return, this can be done by you or you can use a tax agent to submit your tax return on your behalf. When you first arrive and are unfamiliar with the Australian taxation system and particularly if you have any money, shares, property, business interests or other assets overseas; it makes sense to engage an Australian tax professional to assist you with completing your annual tax return and for local and international tax advice.
CPA Australia is one of the largest professional accounting bodies in the world and their members, in addition to being certified practising accountants, adhere to a strict professional code of conduct. We recommend that you use a CPA Australia tax professional for tax advice and assistance with completing your tax return. Please visit the CPA Search for a Member tool on the CPA Australia website.
Remember that if you need international tax advice or advice on overseas investments or income to check if your accountant is approved to provide international (as well as Australian) tax advice. They may be able to recommend a professional to assist you if they cannot.
