如何在澳洲注册公司? 在澳洲注册注册公司,有着很多优势。 澳洲注册公司需要准备什么? 如需注册澳洲公司,请准备以下资料 澳大利亚公司注册与管理机构 注册澳大利亚公司必须要向澳大利亚证券投资委员会(Australian Security & Investment Commission,简称ASIC)进行申请。申请成功后,注册公司会自动获得一个澳大利亚公司号Australian Company Number,简称ACN。获得ACN后还要继续向澳洲税务局申请澳大利亚商业号码Australian Business Number,简称ABN,以及申请消费税GST申报后才算完成公司注册的全部程序。 注册澳大利亚商业号码ABN,消费税GST申报所需材料 注册澳大利亚公司号ACN和澳大利亚商业号码ABN需要的时间 澳大利亚证券投资委员会ASIC联系方式:http://www.asic.gov.au/澳大利亚商业注册机构Australian Business Register联系方式: http://www.abr.gov.au/澳大利亚税务局联系方式: http://www.ato.gov.au/ 如何注册公司建立自己的生意 ?如何在澳洲注册公司? 澳洲注册公司收费? 在澳洲成立及经营任何商务,均须在商业登记局(AUSTRALIAN SECURITIES COMMISSION)登记。除了少数外,澳洲的商业机构可分作三大类。 普通商业登记俗称无限公司,其成立过程十分简单,申请登记者先选择一个商号名称(Business Name),然后到商业登记局领取及填写一张很简单的表格,并付登记费75澳元便可,如你选择的名称不与任何现有商号冲突,商业登记局便于三周内发出商业登记牌照。如所选择的商号已被他人取用,则须另行选择其它名字。这种商业登记即可独资,也可多数股东合股,适宜小型生意采用。 私人有限公司须按照各省的公司法组合,其成立方法十分复杂,需请会计师、律师或专门代客成立公司的机构代办,政府收费和代理费用由1500澳元至2,000澳元以上不等。私人有限公司须有股东及董事二名以上,其最特出的要点是“有限债务”权,公司在成立后有自己的独立身份,与股东的个人资产,在一般情况下并无关联。私人有限公司在澳洲是无须审计的,相当适宜中小型机构。澳洲的公司均以这种体系成立。普通商业登记也可以是私人有限公司下属分部。 澳洲生意税务项目类型 除了入息税之外,附带在商业上的税务项目较多,最普遍者为以下数项: 营业税是货品转手时抽取的附加税。抽税点通常是在转卖结终用户时抽。营业税率较高,可达百分之二十以上。进口税因货而异,可高达百分之一百以上。其它税项数目较少,对营业影响不大。澳大利亚企业的所得税率为30%,无免税。合伙企业和投资公司无需交纳收入所得税。除上述之外,还有1.5%的医疗保险,低收入者和靠退休金生活的人们部分税金可作抵冲。在澳洲拥有一个合法的生意,不担可使自己有合法的收入,还可以使你的许多必须的费用变成合法的可退税及减税消费,特别是家庭式生意,如果你的住宅既为办公地址,则房租水电,汽油费等至少部分都可作为合法的生意消费。 在澳大利亚建立生意的两种方式 一种是购买一个生意,另一种是自己建立一个生意。 购买一个生意即既将原生意主的商店,货物,进货渠道,租约,用户群一起购买下来。这对新移民来说是一个最简洁的生意投资方式,但购买一个生意最少要花月利润十倍以上的价格。购买生意首先观察其地理位置及用户群,是否有同行竞争。将生意建在流量大的商场内,或交通不很方便但居民相对富裕的地区都是很好的主意(澳洲本地人除了每周一次到大商场购物外,其余时间更喜欢就近购买零散物品,即使其价格高50%也不计较)。在购买前最好请会计师为你核算一下原生意主提供的资料,看是否有利润合适。请律师为你参考出主意,办理购买手续,以免购买生意后留下一大滩后遗症。自己建立一个生意远比购买一个生意省钱得多。在澳大利亚如果你不是做进出口或大生意,又有一些不大的收入,并希望这些收入合法化则你必须注册澳大利亚生意-而不必注册为有限公司。注册生意要求申请人在十八岁以上,居住在澳大利亚。自创生意大慨有以下步骤:考察你所想做的生意的位置和用户群,是否有同行竞争。除非在人口特别密集地带,否则尽力不做重复的生意。减价的竞争累己累人又没有效益。咨询当地政府是否允许你在所计划的地点建你所要建的生意。核算所建生意的费用、设备投资、货物投资、至少三个月的房屋压金、装修及广告牌,如果你的生意需要执照牌的话这是一笔不小的费用,生意保险等。如资金不够,是否找到贷款机构。在澳大利亚基金、银行等都提供生意贷款。如果需要的活也可请个会计师为你核算一下。注册生意及生意税号(ABN)、申请牌照(如需要的话)、注册公司(如需要的话)、产权商标注册(如需要的话)。在进出口业务方面,以自然人的形式和以法人形式从事进出口业务也有许多不同,主要在于:以法人形式的,将持有公司代码,在进口货物报关时可以申请延迟交纳消费税(GST),待货物销售后再补交消费税;以自然人形式的,在进口货物报关时必须如数交纳消费税。在澳大利亚,以自然人形式从事进出口业务的情况较少。 注册公司从事进出口业务,需要办理的手续 合理避税的方法,澳洲留学生注册公司需要pr吗? 此外,运行有限公司的人一般要每个季度提交BAS(商业活动报告),缴纳GST增值税。请和你的会计师定期准时安排GST。 澳洲留学生注册公司不需要pr。近来有一些留学生朋友合伙购买一些小生意,比如网吧,连锁清洁生意等,这样的模式投资小,回报高,比单纯打工要强一些。
