What clients usually walk in with.
An Indian software engineer on a 482 visa
Resident-for-tax-purposes test, taxation of Indian PF and rental, FITO claim for tax already paid in India, and HECS/HELP repayments correctly reflected.
A small Pty Ltd with a Division 7A loan
Loan agreement put in place, minimum yearly repayments scheduled, and franking-credit treatment of any deemed dividend cleaned up before the next year’s lodgement.
An expat returning to India
Departure-year planning: residency change, CGT event I1 election, super preservation, and a clean Indian re-entry under FEMA.
A late BAS chain
Catch-up BAS, GIC remission request where reasonable cause exists, and a payment plan with the ATO that you can actually meet.
Australian compliance, with the cross-border bit handled.
