# Australia Pty Ltd Registration

> An Australian proprietary company is registered with ASIC and needs at least one director who ordinarily resides in Australia, a registered office in Australia, and director IDs for every director. Once registered, it applies for an ABN and TFN, registers for GST if turnover will reach A$75,000, and appoints a public officer for tax.

Founders without a resident director often appoint a trusted local director or a professional director service; the director carries real legal duties.

We coordinate registration through partner registered agents and set up tax registrations and the Indian ODI side.
