Seeking International Tax Adviser (Australia / Vanuatu / Vietnam) I am looking for an experienced international tax adviser to review and provide practical advice on a proposed cross-border consulting business structure. I am an Australian citizen who has ceased Australian tax residency. I have an Australian company which will continue servicing Australian clients and a Vanuatu company which will service all international clients. Advice sought: 1. Review proposed structure and identify any tax or legal risks. 2. Confirm likely tax residency implications across Australia, Vietnam and Vanuatu. 3. Assess any permanent establishment or management-and-control risks for the Vanuatu company. 4. Advise whether contracting personally to the Vanuatu company is the most appropriate structure. 5. Recommend the most tax-efficient and compliant way to extract funds (contract fees, dividends, retained earnings, etc.). 6. Identify any governance, documentation or structural improvements that would strengthen the arrangement. I am looking for someone with demonstrated expertise in Australian expatriate tax, international business structuring, cross-border consulting businesses, and ideally experience with Vanuatu and/or Vietnam.

Hi there, We can review the proposed Australia / Vanuatu / Vietnam structure through an expatriate tax and tax risk management lens, with focus on residency, permanent establishment, and management-and-control exposure. We also assess whether personal contracting to the Vanuatu company is the cleaner option, and how fees, dividends, and retained earnings may be extracted in a compliant way. Our initial assumption is that substance, governance, and where decisions are made will be critical. Best Regards, 8veer

Hello. I am an experienced international tax adviser with expertise in Australian expatriate tax, cross-border structuring, and permanent establishment risk. I understand you need advice on a structure with an Australian company for Australian clients and a Vanuatu company for international clients. The critical starting point is confirming your tax residency, determined by the resides test considering physical presence, family, and business connections. The Vanuatu company's management and control location creates significant permanent establishment risk, especially if you are personally contracting to it. I will assess whether Vietnam creates a permanent establishment and advise on tax treaties. For fund extraction, I will compare contract fees, dividends, and retained earnings. I will provide governance recommendations to strengthen your structure. I am ready to start immediately. I look forward to collaborating. Best Regards.
