01

ASIC registration is not an ATO calendar

Indian founders sometimes stop at the company extract. Banks and the ATO will ask for ABN, GST status, and clean books. Build identifiers and accounting in the same week as incorporation when you can.

ASIC rules on resident directors can apply depending on company type and current law. Confirm the latest requirement before appointing only India-based directors.

No. GST registration depends on ATO rules and your turnover/activity. Map BAS obligations after you know the sales plan.

We coordinate ASIC-ready packs, ATO calendars, and India DTAA/FEMA from Delhi/Gurgaon with Australian partners for local filings.
