Our team works with organisations from all jurisdictions that are investing in Australia to ensure business and operations compliance with Australian GST and indirect tax laws.
Grant Thornton’s global network with more than 56,000 people in over 140 countries means that with a single point of contact you have access to tax and indirect tax experts for the jurisdictions in which you plan to operate or invest.
We proactively negotiate firmly and fairly with the ATO on clients’ behalf. Early engagement with the ATO can be key to obtaining an outcome to satisfy all parties. Where necessary, we take matters to the tax tribunal and beyond.
In addition, in relation to GST and indirect taxes, we can help you manage your initial registration, compliance, transactions, acquisitions and disposals, and restructuring.
We'll be in touch shortly.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us via communications@au.gt.com.
Indirect tax is a tax to a business that is levied on the goods and services within your organisation and not on your income or profits.
GST – or Goods and Services Tax – is just that: a broad-based tax (of 10% in Australia) on most goods, services and other items sold or consumed across the country.
