Company setup and compliance in Oceania

Australia and New Zealand are the two Oceania markets most Indian founders choose, and both run on clear, well-enforced company law. Plan early for the director rule: an Australian Pty Ltd needs at least one director who ordinarily lives in Australia, and a New Zealand company needs one living in New Zealand or Australia.

How we help

Start your Oceania business from India

Australian companies register with ASIC and New Zealand companies with the Companies Office, both online. India has tax treaties with both countries, and the India–Australia ECTA has cut tariffs on most goods trade since December 2022. Comply Globally handles incorporation and your first-year filings.

We handle local registration, tax and annual filings alongside the India side: ODI reporting under FEMA, the Annual Performance Report and DTAA relief on income you bring home.

Robust legal frameworks

Operate confidently with transparent, well-established legal systems in Australia, New Zealand and other key jurisdictions.

Strategic market access

Use Oceania’s position as a gateway to Asia-Pacific trade, with strong international ties and free trade agreements.

Flexible business structures

Choose from a range of incorporation and tax-friendly options, including free zones and offshore regimes in select island nations.

Why Oceania

Why Indian founders choose Oceania

Both countries offer stable courts, English-language law and banks used to foreign-owned companies, and Australia is a sizeable market in its own right. If you are weighing a Pacific island jurisdiction instead, talk to us first: banking and substance rules there work very differently.
