For non-resident yacht owners and charter operators, entering Australia isn’t just a matter of logistics; it also means meeting Australian tax and regulatory obligations. To do this effectively, many owners appoint a local fiscal agent - who is someone able to represent their interests onshore, deal directly with Australian regulators, and manage compliance from start to finish.
Our agency services apply not only to yachts but to any non-resident who requires an on-the-ground presence to manage local taxes on their behalf while they conduct their business here.
