Expat Tax Consultation for Multi-national Activities

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.
