Does anyone know if Australia imposes a minimum paid up capital for foreigners setting up a private limited company there ?

If you don't have a work permit in Australia, are you allowed to set up a company with just one foreigner shareholder cum director ?

why do you want to set up business here? business tax is 30% followed by income taxes which can range from 27 to 45% depending on your incomes. pay up capital? $1 or 2 will do. you need ACN and ABN.. but that is for people with proper visas.

Bro fishbuff, COMPANY TAX is 30%... not business tax. Sole Prop. tax is equivalent to income tax..

I believe the turnover or profit must reach a certain amount before they tax you. Does anyone know the figure ?

Business tax is 30% but setting up a company opens to door to many deductibles plus a chance to take advantage of state grants.

I paid very little tax while I was in OZ.... all perfectly legal and signed off by my accountant.

if u make profit, u will get taxed. if u make losses, how are they going to tax u. running a biz u r able to claim deductions. deductions help reduce your tax. another point about state grant, not everyone is entitled to it.

ACN stands for australian company number
ABN stands for australian business number

to get ACN, u need to incorporate a business

but all businesses including sole traders and contractors must get ABN. ABN is monitored by ATO which is IRAS in singapore.

that is why most asians restaurants and shops deal in cash, and it is said that they have two cash register; one in the shop and the other at home.

you need some business/trade/profession insurance as well.

tax deductions.. income splitting, asset depreciation, fringe benefits tax etc.. but able to get businesses from the locals is another story.
