Just a rif on top of the doing a startup in Aus in terms of registration...
Since it's likely I won't be in Australia more than the length of my 457 (say 4 years), I was wondering if anyone knew of the details around registering a company offshore and raising bank accounts and such so that it would be legal and still be paying taxes properly and such. In other words, if you're an international man of mystery (seriously, I move every 3-4 years) and wanted to have your business located outside of any one country's jurisdiction to avoid taxes or complications about transferring funds and such between countries, what is the best and simplest way to set this up? So, I'd like to have a bank account I can pull from, maintain a low tax rate (but fair one for whatever country I happen to be in so I'm both contributing and staying legal) and still be able to move my operations (ie. me and associated parties) and have them work from anywhere in the world. ie. So, for example, having a US dollar/Euro merchant account in Hong Kong for example for taking online payments, incorporating someplace as a business but still paying applicable taxes for staff and whatever in whichever country I happen to be in. Just trying to imagine the nightmare of transferring my small business to another country if anywhere near semi-successful in a few years. Or am I overengineering too much already? (just had plenty of experience with how hostile banks seem to be with me as an individual moving between countries and trying to maintain accounts back in countries I've resided in, let alone an entire business). ciao ! Daryl. PS> Just to be clear, this is more about setting things up right. I want everything to be legal and trouble free and to pay appropriate taxes, just need the base of the business to be internationally mobile and internet from anywhere friendly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
