Doing Business in Asia
The recent rapid growth of many Asian economies is creating opportunities for Australian businesses – particularly those in the private sector. The growth in wealth of individuals and family groups in Asia is also creating opportunities for investment interest in countries such as Australia.
Managing these investment decisions creates a level of complexity and challenge for both businesses and individual investors. As each country in Asia has its own set of rules and regulations governing commercial transactions, taxation, company administration, the operation of trusts and the regulation of financial transactions international investment ensuring access to the right investment advice is critical.
MGI is well positioned to provide professional advice and services to Australian businesses and individuals wanting to explore business and investment opportunities in the Asian region. We can also provide specialist advice to business, individuals and family groups moving to or investing into Australia.
Structuring into Asia
As a consequence of our research, field trips and hands-on-experience, we have developed expertise in advising on the most appropriate business structures to implement when doing business in most Asian countries.
We have developed an extensive network of advisors throughout the Asian region. These advisors include our affiliate MGI firms in the region, other specialist taxation advisors, legal firms, trustee and corporate services groups, migration, lawyers and bankers. We also have easy access to various government organisations that promote commerce and trade within the region.
This combination of our experience and specialist skills, together with access to our strong network, can assist in achieving efficient and practical outcomes for most cross border transactions.
Structuring into Australia
We have extensive experience in advising both individuals and businesses establishing commercial operations and investment interests in Australia.
These services include:
- pre-migration planning and international investment structuring;
- optimal structuring of inbound investments for individuals and businesses;
- appropriate structuring of inbound business activities; and effective advice on the taxation implications of cross border income flows.
We also employ professional staff proficient in Asian languages to ease the communication burden of these sometimes complex cross border transactions.
