The right business structure in Australia depends on your revenue, risk profile, number of owners, and growth plans. Sole traders have the simplest setup but unlimited personal liability. Partnerships share income and responsibility between owners. Companies provide limited liability and a flat 25% tax rate for small businesses but have more compliance requirements. Trusts offer flexibility for income distribution and asset protection. A qualified accountant can assess which structure best fits your circumstances. Linix Accountants in Alexandria, Sydney advises SMEs and startups on business structuring, with Don Su (CPA) providing guidance on the tax and compliance implications of each option.
You must register for GST in Australia if your business has a GST turnover of $75,000 or more per year ($150,000 for not-for-profit organisations), or if you provide taxi or ridesharing services regardless of turnover. You can voluntarily register below these thresholds. GST registration means you charge 10% GST on applicable sales and can claim GST credits on business purchases. You must then lodge regular BAS returns with the ATO. Linix Accountants in Alexandria, Sydney provides BAS and GST lodgement services and can advise on GST registration requirements.
