    Tax functions in Australia

    In Australia, the tax function revolves mainly around the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). They manage and collect taxes from people and companies so the government has the funds to operate. Whether you’re working for someone, running your own business, or just enjoying retirement, you’ll likely have some interaction with the ATO.

    How Tax Natives works.

    Tax Natives is an international tax network that connects Explorers (taxpayer clients) with Natives (qualified and regulated tax advisers) from one jurisdiction to another.

    What are the tax functions in Australia?

    For individuals, income tax is the main game. It’s based on how much you earn, with rates that scale up the more you make. Then there’s the Goods and Services Tax (GST), a 10% charge on most goods and services, which businesses must manage and pass on to the ATO.

    Businesses have their own tax obligations, too. From reporting income and paying corporate tax (if applicable) to handling payroll taxes and the GST.

    The Australian tax system also offers various deductions and credits to lighten the load, encouraging investments, education, and charitable donations.
