AIMS Australia Tax Accountants

AIMS Australia Tax Accountants is an award-winning CPA public practice and registered tax agent practice established in 2012. The practice is particularly experienced in matters where Australian tax outcomes depend on the interaction between tax residency, foreign income, overseas assets, Australian investments, capital gains tax and international relocation. Its work commonly requires detailed review of residency history, transaction chronology, ownership structures, supporting documentation, foreign tax treatment and applicable double tax agreement provisions. AIMS Australia Tax Accountants assists clients with expat tax returns, foreign resident and non-resident tax returns, Australian tax residency reviews, foreign income reporting, foreign income tax offsets, CGT and deemed disposal issues, employee share and equity arrangements, foreign pensions, Australian investment properties and cross-border asset disposals. The firm also advises foreign residents and overseas investors who own or dispose of Australian property. These matters may involve Australian rental income, allowable deductions, depreciation and capital works, foreign resident CGT, withholding credits, cost base reconstruction and outstanding Australian tax return obligations. For expatriates and overseas Australians, the practice handles departure and return-to-Australia tax matters, multiple overdue tax returns, prior-year compliance, ATO amendments, objections, voluntary disclosures and private binding ruling applications. Each engagement is scoped according to the technical issues involved, the relevant income years and the quality of available evidence. The firm is led by Nika Widanage, FCPA, an award-recognised tax professional whose work focuses on complex Australian and cross-border tax matters involving high-net-worth individuals, expatriates, foreign residents, non-residents and internationally mobile clients.
