## Target Customers

Australian citizens or permanent residents living overseas, primarily in Hong Kong, Singapore, UAE (Dubai), UK, USA, Japan, South Korea, and Europe. Typical profile: aged 30-55, professionals in finance, consulting, tech, or corporate leadership. Common situations: own or plan to own Australian property, have not filed tax returns for multiple years, uncertain about tax residency status, or seeking to optimise negative gearing or CGT exposure.

Secondary market: foreign nationals investing in Australian property who require Australian tax compliance.

## Unique Value Propositions

- **Integrated expat property team**: ODIN Tax coordinates with ODIN Mortgage and conveyancing under one roof. Tax strategy is built into the property acquisition plan from day one, not handled separately.
- **Specialist expat tax knowledge**: Deep expertise in areas where generalist accountants routinely produce incorrect outcomes - tax residency determinations, non-resident CGT rules (no 50% discount for non-residents), FRCGW, DTA applications across 40+ countries, and overdue lodgment penalty negotiation.
- **Specialist-only practice**: ODIN Tax exclusively serves Australian expats and non-residents. Every process and piece of knowledge is built around the non-resident tax landscape.
- **Headquartered where expats live**: Operating from Hong Kong, not a Sydney firm trying to service expats remotely. Built from the ground up for people living overseas.
- **10,000+ expats served**: Deep pattern recognition across every major expat corridor and tax scenario.

## Key Expat Tax Areas

- **Tax Residency**: The ATO applies four tests to determine whether an Australian living overseas is still a tax resident. Getting this wrong has significant financial consequences. ODIN Tax specialises in determining residency status correctly.
- **Non-Resident CGT**: Non-residents do not receive the 50% CGT discount available to residents. The 15% Foreign Resident CGT Withholding (FRCGW) applies to most property sales by non-residents.
- **Double Tax Agreements**: Australia has DTAs with 40+ countries. FITO claims must be applied correctly to avoid double taxation.
- **Overdue Lodgments**: Multiple years of unfiled returns require a structured approach to minimise penalties. ODIN Tax has handled high-volume backlog lodgments and ATO penalty negotiations.
