0 guidesSetting up in Australia runs through three bodies you will deal with directly: a company is recorded in the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), tax is administered by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), and residence and work permits go through the Department of Home Affairs.
A company needs an Australian Company Number from ASIC and, for most tax dealings, an ABN from the ATO. The guides below cover formation, corporate tax, banking and residency for Australia specifically, each checked against the official source it cites.
