Hi there, I own and manage a talent agency that represents models, musicians and artists here and overseas. The agency is registered as an Australian Company Pty Ltd, however a lot of the talent and clients I work with are based in the U.S., U.K. and Europe. I’m struggling to find information regarding tax obligations between Australia and each of these regions. I’m yet to work out the best way to invoice my clients to ensure that I’m not getting over/under taxed and that I’m meeting the obligations to run an Australian business internationally (sometimes working with multiple regions e.g. my Australian company invoicing a U.S. client for a U.K. based model). I’ve spoken to a few accountants who are also unsure, so I’m hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello @Nicolas


The rules are generally the same for tax invoices issued to foreign entities as they are for Australian entities, but there are some special requirements when dealing with foreign currencies.


The other thing you need to consider is whether you need to charge GST but based on the information you've provided; it sounds like it would be GST-free.


You can find more information on our website:

  • Tax invoices
  • Tax invoices in a foreign currency
  • Foreign currency
  • Other exports


Have a great day :)
