Meeting Business and Investor Visa Financial Requirements

Many business and investor visa subclasses (such as the Business Innovation and Investment visas) come with ongoing requirements to demonstrate business turnover, investment levels, or employment of local staff, which need to be evidenced through properly prepared financial statements and tax returns. We help visa holders keep accurate records that stand up to scrutiny at visa review or permanent residency application stage.

Setting Up Your Business Correctly From Arrival

Getting your business structure, ABN, GST and tax registrations right from the start is particularly important for visa holders, since errors or delays can complicate demonstrating compliance with your visa conditions down the track. We help new arrivals set up correctly from day one.

Ongoing Tax and Accounting Support

Beyond the initial setup, we provide ongoing tax returns, BAS lodgement, bookkeeping and business advisory support, so your business’s financial records stay accurate and complete throughout your visa period – important both for day-to-day compliance and for any future visa or residency application.

Understanding Your Australian Tax Residency

Your tax residency status affects how your worldwide income is taxed in Australia, and this can be a source of confusion for visa holders, particularly in your first year. We help clarify your residency position and make sure it’s reflected correctly in your tax return.

Working With Your Migration Agent

We’re happy to work alongside your migration agent, providing the financial statements, tax return summaries or business performance documentation they need to support your visa application or review, in a format that clearly demonstrates what’s required.
