International Tax Advice

High income earners in Australia have to pay nearly half of their income to the Australian government in the form of tax. Add various other taxes such as sales tax, capital gains and company tax, then this figure can jump to more than half of hard earned income! There are many ways in which people try and limit their tax liability. Taking wealth offshore is a very popular and attractive option. However, there are lots of pitfalls and technicalities most people don’t consider. We provide international tax advice for individuals and businesses you can rely on.

WealthSafe is here to help.

With more than 20 years experience, WealthSafe's international tax advisors guide you through the complexities of legal foreign tax strategies. We help you put your wealth where it belongs — in your own pocket.

Heavy Tax

Australia’s income tax rate is among the highest in the world. If you earn more than A$180,000 per year, can be charged up to 45% of that income to go to the government’s coffers. However, it doesn’t end there. Add to that the 2% Medicare levy that goes on top of this, capital gains tax, and other day-to-day taxes such as petrol tax and GST on everything you purchase. Before long you’re paying more than half of your income towards tax.

Combined, these taxes have a major negative impact on your wealth. It seems that everywhere you turn, the government is there to take your money. It feels like you're being bullied out of ever achieving financial freedom. Considering the time and effort you invest towards achieving financial freedom, that's unjust.

Shady solutions

All of this seems grossly unfair, and it’s no wonder people turn to risky methods to decrease their tax liability. Some people ‘cook their books’ so that it seems your income is lower than it actually is. Sometimes, they'll ‘forget’ to send in the correct paperwork with their tax returns, or even work less to qualify for lower tax. Many turn to so-called ‘advisors’ with questionable credibility who for help. These guys offer ‘solutions’ like pre-packaged tax avoidance schemes.

These methods and schemes are not only unsustainable, but most often illegal! If there is one certainty in life then it’s that the taxman WILL eventually find you, with dire consequences. With this in mind, you have to ask yourself — is this really worth it? Do I really want to risk of potentially losing EVERYTHING?

Worry-free, legal solutions

There is, however, international tax advice for individuals and businesses that is completely above board and 100% legal — no cheating, no hiding, no stress of being caught. One of the most popular tax minimising solutions these days is going offshore. In fact, many of the world’s top companies use this method to significantly reduce their tax liability. Companies such as Apple, Starbucks, Google (Alphabet), Amazon, Facebook, and Uber structure their businesses to tax advantage of competitive global tax rates.

For example, by using their entity in Luxemburgh, Apple pays less than 1% tax on their nearly US$30 billion earnings, Amazon pays a meagre 0.2%, Starbucks 0.25%. Imagine what impact this has on their profits, compared to having to pay in excess of 40% tax by not using this method. And it is all 100% legal.

Great for companies, great for you

Now you may be thinking, this is great for these companies, but can this work for me too? The short answer is a resounding YES! With careful planning and structuring of your income, and the right international tax advisor, you too can take advantage of the amazing tax savings offered on foreign soil. All of it 100% legal, of course.

But wait, it gets tricky.

While it is possible for you to get in on the offshore tax saving action, there are a number of restrictions that can get quite complicated. This is where people who try to do it themselves, and most of the above-mentioned ‘advisors’ trip up — they simply don’t know the details. Most people start companies overseas and think that they automatically qualify for lower taxes, but it is often not the case. They can end up paying tax in that country AND in Australia! Not only does this defeat the purpose, but you also risk running foul of the law.

To avoid this, you need specialist advice, and this is where WealthSafe comes in.

Will 100% Be Recommending!

Brilliant service!! Could not have asked for a better start to getting my business structure. This world is still completely new to me and I am very impressed with all the resources Warren and the entire team at Wealth Safe have provided to help me understand trusts

Josh Straw

Thanks to WealthSafe I've saved hundreds of thousands in personal and company tax.

Living overseas, with no structures or assets in Australia anymore, it simply didn't make sense to keep paying into their tax system. Thanks to Warren and his team, they guided me through the process of setting up stable business structures, and making sure all the lawyers agreements and professional advise was documented. This ensured I met the obligations of the ATO and was 100% legally compliant with my obligations. I researched my options, and felt secure that WealthSafe took all precautions to ensure I was doing the right thing, and benefitting financially at the same time

Bec Robbie

Warren and his team are highly dedicated and incredible to deal with.

After getting so much conflicting advice from other sources, we were completely confused. Being global business owners, we needed both Australian and international advice, so we reached out to War ren to help us understand exactly how we could structure our businesses to ensure we were well protected. It was vital to us that our future growth and decisions were taken into account. Not only did Warren give us the highest quality advice, and go above and beyond in ensuring we understood the full spectrum of what we were putting in place, but he has always been available for follow up questions, is always happy to get us on the phone for clarification, and he has shared the expertise in his team with us. At first, we have to be honest, we were really concerned about spending money on a consultation. The outcome is although not cheap, it is the best money we have ever spent. We can see significant savings, know we are structured well, have a fully dedicated and professional team behind us and have expert advice available when we need it. We can’t recommend Warren and the Wealth Safe team enough. Thank you

Working with Warren has been a wonderful experience

He is very professional, knowledgeable and creative with his tax planning strategies, and very attentive in answering your questions and working with you to find the best set up for your individual situation. I feel confident working with him and his team, and his level of expertise is outstanding. I wouldn't trust any other company, and would highly recommend Warren Black and Wealth Safe to protect your assets

Brendan King

The results he [Warren] achieved was incredible

Although I thought the result I had figured out with my accountant were the most tax effective way I could setup myself up. I was in a position where I would have to pay 31k in tax. Warren found something in how I was setup, which turned my situation around to getting $15k returned to me. It's a $46k turn around.

Warren was able to set me up, and help me look forward to further tax reductions for the future. Also for improved asset protection. Warren also did bloodline wills for me and my wife. Full Review Here

Duncan Mackie

I get Warren to do all my work now. I would recommend him to anyone!

I'm in the mining industry and run a small trading business. I had a tricky situation I had to get out of. I had default on my credit files. I got Warren on the job, he loves that sort of challenge. He didn't even charge me full price, he was excited at the challenge of helping me out. He succeeded and got rid of my default! I get Warren to do all my work now. I would recommend him to anyone

John G from Sydney

Thank you so much Warren, you and your team are fantastic.

I run a small business. I was concerned about safeguarding my assets, myself and my family, and the amount of tax I was paying, but I also wanted to be legal and not get into trouble. Warren was able to provide me with a structure that protected me and my family and my assets and also helped to significantly and legally reduce the tax that I had to pay. Sure I had to pay and they aren’t the cheapest nor the most expensive, however it was well worth the fees paid. I certainly feel more comfortable and secure now

Marco Reeves

They were great.

They were able to walk me through the whole process, even a tax dummy like myself.... I was very very impressed with the level of service. It was really end to end. They were always there to answer questions, help me complete paperwork and connected me with all the right people. I can't recommend Warren and Wealthsafe highly enough Full Review Here

They clearly have a great deal of knowledge regarding taxation in Australia. Also Warren's seminars have been of great help. We absolutely would recommend their services and are forever grateful for help and advise provided

One of the best things I have ever done

I am a doctor (GP) who was making a good income, however, I was highly dissatisfied with the high amount of tax I was paying, and also feeling a little lost and frustrated in my life in general. I signed up to work with Warren and his team at Wealth Safe. It was one of the best things I have ever done. Firstly, I got quality advice on my tax and was restructured and legally was able to minimize my tax and get on top of it. Secondly, I joined his mastermind and got some personal mentoring, which was significant. It helped me shift a lot of mental and spiritual blocks, and financial imprints which seemed to be blocking moving forward and making major decisions. I learned also how to manifest and create what I wanted rather than what I don’t want, and I have even manifested a wonderful relationship with a very supportive partner. So all round, a great decision. Thanks Warren, and I would recommend Wealth Safe and Warren’s tax advice service and manifestation and imprint clearing to anyone!

Evan Bleker

This was above and beyond what I expected.

I worked with Warren Black to open a Hong Kong corporation during the summer of 2018. Warren came highly recommended from my business contacts, who said that he was honest, trustworthy, and very knowledgable. I have to agree. My experience working with Warren was very good. Warren was extremely attentive to my questions, replying with solid answers in less than a day. He also took the time to explain options and rules in detail. When faced with some unique challenges that most businesses don't face, Warren was quick to roll up his sleeves, take action, and even put me in touch with his team so the process could move forward rapidly. This was above and beyond what I expected. To top it off, I found him very personable and really a pleasure to work with. If anyone is looking at a business entity in Hong Kong or Malta, I highly recommend Warren Black.

I can't thank them enough

Warren, Virna and the team at Wealth Safe were fantastic in helping me set up multiple business structures overseas. They were always willing to have a chat on the phone whenever I felt like I needed extra help and they always replied quickly to my emails. The advice and structure set up was tailored to what I wanted to achieve and the whole process was easy and straight forward. I would 100% recommend utilizing their knowledge and expertise in setting up overseas and creating the life that you want to live :) I can't thank them enough.
