Doing Business in Australia for Travel Agents, Tour Operators, and DMCs

A Practical Guide for 2026

Australia is one of the most developed inbound travel markets in the world and a natural operational base for businesses serving the broader Asia-Pacific region. It offers sophisticated banking infrastructure, a mature legal framework, strong professional services, and a workforce with deep experience in international tourism operations.

That sophistication, however, comes with significant compliance expectations. The Australian Taxation Office is active and technically advanced. GST rules for tour operators are nuanced and have been the subject of specific ATO guidance. Employment law is strictly enforced. Superannuation obligations extend to contractors in ways that many operators underestimate. Banking due diligence is rigorous and aligned with international AML standards.

For tour operators, travel agents, and destination management companies, success in Australia depends as much on how money flows through the business as on the strength of the product. This guide explains the operating environment in practical terms — where financial and compliance risk sit, how GST treatment actually works for inbound operators, and why margins often behave differently in practice than they appear in forecasts.

1. Australia's Role in Asia-Pacific Travel Operations

Australia functions as both a major destination market and an operational hub for businesses servicing inbound travel across the Asia-Pacific. Many operators are headquartered in Australia while managing programs that extend to New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, Southeast Asia, or further afield.

The reasons are practical. Australia offers reliable banking, strong contract enforcement, sophisticated accounting and legal services, and a pool of experienced tourism professionals. It is comparatively straightforward to open bank accounts, structure entities, manage payroll, and maintain tax filings from an Australian base.

However, Australia is not a low-regulation environment. Regulatory and tax exposure follows substance, not administrative convenience. An Australian entity used primarily as a billing or treasury conduit without genuine operational activity attracts scrutiny, and authorities have the tools and technical capacity to identify hollow structures.

2. Legal Structure and Operating Models

Most tour operators and DMCs operating in Australia do so through a proprietary limited company (Pty Ltd). This is the standard commercial vehicle, equivalent to a private limited company in the United Kingdom or an LLC in the United States. Branches of foreign companies are less common and typically used by larger international groups with established Australian operations.

Incorporation is straightforward through the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). An Australian Business Number (ABN) is required for most commercial activities, and registration for GST is mandatory once annual turnover of taxable supplies exceeds the AUD 75,000 threshold.

The more important question is not which structure to use but how that structure is used. The ATO and other regulatory bodies examine where decisions are made, where staff are employed, where contracts are concluded, and where revenue is earned. Using an Australian entity as a passive conduit without substantive local operations creates permanent establishment risk and may not achieve the tax outcomes intended.

Common operating models for inbound tour operators include:

• Australia as the principal contracting entity with end clients

• Australia as a ground operations and staffing hub

• Australia as a treasury and payment collection centre for Asia-Pacific programs

• Australia as a regional sales or marketing office for a broader group

Each model carries different GST, income tax, and payroll consequences. Treating them interchangeably is one of the most common sources of retrospective exposure.

3. GST and Tour Operator Exposure

GST is the most technically complex area for inbound tour operators and DMCs operating in Australia. Australia applies GST at a standard rate of 10 percent on taxable supplies. The GST Act provides specific concessions for international travel, but these concessions are conditional, documentation-dependent, and narrower than many operators assume.

The Standard Rate and Zero-Rating Framework

Not all travel services supplied to non-resident or offshore clients qualify for GST-free treatment. The starting position is that domestic supplies made in Australia are taxable at 10 percent. GST-free treatment must be positively established through the application of specific provisions, and the conditions differ materially depending on the type of supply, who the recipient is, where services are enjoyed, and what role the operator plays in the supply chain.

The ATO's guidance on GST and international travel draws clear distinctions between supplies that are GST-free and those that are taxable, even where the ultimate traveler is a foreign national or the booking originates offshore.

Key Distinctions Under ATO Guidance

International transport to or from Australia, including domestic legs that form part of a booked international itinerary, is generally GST-free where the itinerary is booked as a package and the traveler is outside Australia at the time of purchase. However, domestic air travel or ground services purchased separately once the traveler is already in Australia are generally taxable, regardless of the traveler's nationality.

Accommodation booked in Australia for travelers in Australia is generally subject to GST, even where the booking is made by a non-resident overseas agent. Packages that bundle accommodation with international transport require careful apportionment. Services provided entirely outside Australia are GST-free. Services provided within Australia to non-resident tourists are generally taxable unless a specific exemption applies.

Key risk areas under ATO guidance include:

• Where the services are physically performed or enjoyed

• Whether the traveler is inside or outside Australia when the supply is made

• Whether supplies are bundled or separated across invoices

• Whether the operator contracts as principal or as agent for a non-resident

• Whether commissions relate to GST-free or taxable underlying supplies

PCG 2018/6: The Inbound Tour Operator Safe Harbour

The ATO issued Practical Compliance Guideline PCG 2018/6 in October 2018 specifically to address GST obligations for inbound tour operators (ITOs) acting as agents for non-resident tour operators or wholesalers arranging Australian tour packages.

Under this guideline, an ITO acting as agent for a non-resident in arranging an Australian tour package may treat its commission as GST-free, provided specific conditions are met. The guideline sets out the requirements that must be satisfied for the ATO to accept agent status for compliance purposes, including documentation, contract structure, and alignment between GST and income tax treatment.

However, the safe harbour is not unconditional. Where the ITO:

• sets the final price charged to the end client

• bears credit, refund, or cancellation risk

• controls itinerary content and service selection

• provides additional services as principal while in Australia

...the agent characterisation becomes difficult to maintain, and the ITO may be treated as principal for GST purposes. Where this occurs, the entire supply value — including any margin — may be subject to GST, not just the commission component.

Principal vs. Agent: The Central Classification

Whether an operator is treated as principal or agent is the single most consequential GST determination for inbound tour operators. Many operators believe they act as agents because their services are subcontracted and the travel is delivered by local suppliers. Australian authorities do not accept this framing in isolation.

The ATO examines who bears the commercial risk of the arrangement. Acting as principal means GST exposure on gross revenue. Acting as agent means GST only on the commission or fee. Misclassification is one of the most common causes of GST shortfall assessments for inbound operators.

Inconsistent contract language is a significant risk factor. Where booking terms, supplier agreements, and client invoices use different characterisations of the operator's role, the ATO will often adopt the interpretation most consistent with the economic substance of the arrangement. The principal characterisation frequently prevails.

Input Tax Credit Recovery

Tour operators that are required to charge GST on their supplies may be entitled to claim input tax credits on GST incurred in making those supplies. However, recovery is not automatic and depends on the quality of tax invoices received from suppliers, whether the related output supply is taxable or GST-free, and how apportionment is handled for mixed supplies.

Poor documentation, inconsistent supplier invoices, and incomplete apportionment workings are frequent obstacles to full ITC recovery during ATO reviews.

GST Registration Threshold

GST registration is mandatory where annual turnover from taxable supplies exceeds AUD 75,000. For most inbound operators of meaningful scale, this threshold will be reached quickly. Voluntary registration is available below the threshold and is typically advisable where significant input tax credits are expected.

4. FX Exposure, Pricing, and Timing Risk

Foreign exchange risk is a structural feature of Australian inbound tourism, not an incidental one. Itineraries sold to offshore clients are typically priced in USD, EUR, or GBP. Supplier costs are predominantly incurred in Australian dollars. This mismatch creates real margin volatility that accumulates across the booking lifecycle.

The AUD has historically exhibited meaningful volatility against major selling currencies. Movements of 10 to 15 percent across a year are not unusual, and the timing gap between client booking, deposit receipt, supplier prepayment, and final settlement means that operators are frequently exposed to rate changes across a significant period.

Where the Exposure Sits

The largest FX risk is not day-to-day volatility. It is the structural timing gap between:

• Client booking and initial deposit

• Final client payment receipt

• Supplier prepayment obligations

• Final settlement at travel completion

A weaker AUD improves competitiveness for offshore buyers but increases the domestic cost of supplier services when measured against the foreign currency revenue already contracted. A stronger AUD creates the reverse dynamic. Blended supplier cost bases, where some suppliers quote in AUD and others in USD or local currencies, compound the complexity.

Most small and medium operators do not hedge formally. Pricing buffers are commonly used but may be insufficient during periods of sustained currency movement. Operators frequently discover margin erosion only during post-trip reconciliation rather than at the point of booking.

Practical FX Risk Management

Operators with consistent booking flows and predictable cost profiles can use forward contracts to lock in exchange rates for future supplier payments. Natural hedging — matching revenue currencies with cost currencies where possible — is another approach. The critical step is building FX strategy into pricing and financial modelling rather than treating exchange rate movement as an acceptable unknown.

5. Banking and Financial Services Considerations

Australia's banking system is among the most sophisticated in the Asia-Pacific. The major banks operate to high standards of KYC, transaction monitoring, and AML compliance, aligned with FATF standards and enforced by AUSTRAC, the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre.

Account Opening and Ongoing Monitoring

Australian banks conduct thorough due diligence on new business clients. Travel businesses handling high volumes of client funds, receiving payments from multiple offshore jurisdictions, and paying large numbers of suppliers attract additional scrutiny during onboarding and in ongoing transaction monitoring.

Operators should be prepared to provide clear documentation of their business model, ownership structures, source of funds, and the purpose of anticipated transactions. Unexplained transaction patterns or incomplete responses to bank queries can result in account restrictions or relationship termination. The ATO's Single Touch Payroll requirements and the AML/CTF regime create an environment where financial activity is closely observed.

AUSTRAC Obligations

AUSTRAC regulates anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing in Australia. While most standard travel business activities do not directly trigger AUSTRAC reporting entity status, operators that provide foreign exchange services, receive large cash transactions above AUD 10,000, or engage in certain designated services will have reporting and record-keeping obligations.

Operators using money transfer services, FX platforms, or third-party payment processors should ensure that those providers are compliant with AUSTRAC requirements. The AML/CTF framework is being updated from March 2026, expanding the scope of regulated activities, and operators with complex cross-border payment flows should review their position as reforms take effect.

Client Money and Trust Account Expectations

While Australian travel agent licensing has been significantly deregulated, the mandatory licensing regime that once required state-by-state registration was largely abolished, industry accreditation through the Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA) accreditation scheme (formerly ATAS) remains the primary benchmark of professional standards.

ATIA accreditation requires members to maintain professional standards around client money handling, including holding client deposits in trust where supplier payments have not yet been made. Operators that commingle client funds with operating accounts, draw on deposits for business expenses before supplier payments are due, or fail to maintain adequate reconciliation of client money are exposed to both reputational and legal risk.

Trust account management is not merely an administrative requirement. In the event of operator insolvency or force majeure disruption, the distinction between protected client funds and unprotected operational reserves becomes critical. Many disputes with clients and agents arise not from the disruption itself but from the absence of clear client money controls.

6. Payroll, Employment, and Contractor Risk

Australia has one of the most prescriptive employment frameworks in the developed world. Fair Work legislation, modern awards, enterprise agreements, and the National Employment Standards together create a layered set of obligations that apply broadly regardless of how engagement arrangements are described.

Employee vs. Contractor Classification

Guides, drivers, operational staff, and specialist personnel are frequently engaged as contractors in the travel industry. In Australia, the classification of an individual as an employee or contractor has significant consequences for PAYG withholding, superannuation, payroll tax, and leave entitlements.

The courts and the ATO have adopted an approach that looks at the totality of the relationship rather than relying on contractual labels. Recent High Court decisions have reinforced that the written terms of the contract are highly significant, but the ATO continues to examine whether individuals are genuinely operating as independent businesses or whether the arrangement is effectively employment by another name.

Reclassification risk is highest where individuals:

• work predominantly or exclusively for one operator

• work to fixed schedules or rosters set by the operator

• use equipment or vehicles provided by the operator

• cannot subcontract or delegate their duties

• are paid by time rather than by result

Superannuation Guarantee Obligations

The Superannuation Guarantee requires employers to contribute a minimum percentage of an eligible worker's ordinary time earnings into a complying superannuation fund. From 1 July 2025, the rate is 12 percent of ordinary time earnings. This obligation applies to employees and may also apply to contractors where the contract is wholly or principally for the individual's personal labour.

The obligation to pay superannuation to contractors does not depend on whether the contractor holds an ABN, whether the contract uses the language of independent contracting, or the dollar value of the arrangement. The key test is whether the contract is mainly for the individual's labour and whether they must perform the work personally. Operators engaging individual contractors who do not operate through a company or trust structure should assess their superannuation obligations for each engagement.

Missed or late superannuation payments trigger the Superannuation Guarantee Charge, which is not tax-deductible and includes an administration fee and interest. Unpaid SGC can also result in personal liability for directors.

PAYG Withholding

Employers must withhold PAYG tax from payments to employees and remit it to the ATO on a regular basis. Failure to withhold and remit correctly results in penalties and can create director liability. Single Touch Payroll reporting, which requires payroll information to be reported to the ATO each time payroll is processed, means that payroll compliance is now largely real-time and non-compliance is quickly visible.

Payroll Tax

Payroll tax is a state and territory-level tax imposed on wages paid by employers above a defined threshold. Thresholds, rates, and grouping provisions vary between states. Operators with employees or deemed contractors across multiple states need to assess payroll tax obligations in each jurisdiction. The grouping rules that aggregate wages across related entities are particularly relevant for businesses with complex structures.

Fair Work Act and Modern Awards

Travel industry workers may be covered by the Hospitality Industry (General) Award or other modern awards, depending on their roles and the nature of their employment. Award entitlements for minimum pay, overtime, penalty rates, leave loading, and other conditions must be correctly applied. Underpayment exposure in the hospitality and tourism sector has been a focus of Fair Work Commission and media attention, and remediation costs can be substantial.

7. Client Money, Cash Flow Pressure, and Supplier Prepayments

Australia's inbound tourism model typically involves significant supplier prepayments well ahead of the travel date. Hotels, cruise operators, charter aircraft, coach companies, and experience providers frequently require advance deposits or full prepayments to hold allocation. The timing gap between these outflows and the corresponding client receipts creates working capital pressure even in profitable businesses.

Common Cash Flow Failure Points

Deposits set by operators are often based on historical conventions rather than analysis of actual supplier payment timing. Where client deposits are insufficient to cover required supplier prepayments, operators are effectively funding part of their client's trip from operating cash flow — or from other clients' deposits, which creates further risk.

• Deposit structures that do not reflect actual supplier payment schedules

• Long gaps between deposit receipt and final balance collection

• Refund exposure during force majeure events or supplier failure

• Currency movement between deposit receipt and AUD supplier payment

• Seasonal booking peaks that concentrate cash outflows in narrow windows

Operators that focus on headline profitability without cash flow modelling at trip level frequently discover that growing the business requires disproportionate injections of working capital. Cash flow problems in travel businesses are often invisible until they are acute.

GST Timing Effects

Where GST is applicable to the operator's supplies, GST collected from clients must be remitted to the ATO on a quarterly or monthly basis regardless of when supplier payments are due. This creates a timing mismatch between GST receipts and GST remittance that can consume cash. Where input tax credits are expected, credits may not be received until the next BAS cycle, creating a further timing difference.

8. Income Tax and Permanent Establishment Risk

Australian corporate income tax applies to resident companies on their worldwide income. Non-resident companies are subject to Australian income tax only on Australian-sourced income. Where a double taxation agreement exists between Australia and the company's country of residence, Australia's right to tax business profits is generally limited to profits attributable to a permanent establishment in Australia.

The standard corporate tax rate is 30 percent. Companies qualifying as base rate entities, broadly, those with aggregated turnover below AUD 50 million and with 80 percent or less of assessable income from passive sources, are subject to the reduced rate of 25 percent.

Permanent Establishment Considerations

Foreign operators contracting with Australian suppliers, employing Australian-based staff, or maintaining an office or fixed place of business in Australia may be found to have a permanent establishment, creating Australian tax obligations on the related profits. The relevant tests under domestic law and applicable tax treaties examine substance, where decisions are made, where staff perform functions, and where revenue-generating activities occur.

Operators using Australian entities to front supplier contracting while directing bookings and pricing decisions from offshore should review this exposure carefully. The gap between administrative convenience and genuine substance is well understood by tax authorities.

Transfer Pricing

Operators with related entities in multiple jurisdictions face transfer pricing obligations. Intercompany transactions, including management fees, commissions, and shared service charges, must be priced on arm's-length terms and documented appropriately. Australia's transfer pricing rules are substantive, and penalties for inadequate documentation can be significant.

9. Licensing, Accreditation, and Regulatory Framework

The mandatory state-based licensing regime for travel agents that once applied across most Australian states has been substantially deregulated over the past decade. Consumer Affairs Victoria, the Northern Territory, and certain other jurisdictions retain some licensing requirements, but the national framework has shifted toward industry self-regulation through accreditation rather than mandatory licensing.

ATIA Accreditation

The Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA) operates the industry accreditation scheme, under which travel agents, tour operators, and wholesalers can become accredited participants. Accreditation requires adherence to a Code of Conduct covering financial practices, client money handling, complaints procedures, and professional standards.

While accreditation is not legally mandatory for most travel businesses, it is increasingly expected by airlines, suppliers, and corporate clients. IATA accreditation for ticket issuance remains separately governed and is effectively mandatory for agencies intending to issue airline tickets directly.

Inbound Tour Operator Registration

Some states maintain separate registration requirements for inbound tour operators selling packages to overseas companies or agents. Queensland, for example, requires businesses selling leisure, group, or corporate travel packages to offshore on-sellers to register as inbound tour operators. Operators should review state-level requirements applicable to their activities.

Australian Consumer Law

The Australian Consumer Law (ACL) applies broadly to businesses operating in Australia and provides significant consumer protections including guarantees in relation to services, remedies for misleading or deceptive conduct, and rights around cancellations and refunds. ACL exposure is relevant to tour operators whose contracts with clients do not clearly define rights, obligations, and conditions around cancellation, force majeure, and service variation.

10. Insurance Gaps Specific to Australian Travel Operations

Insurance is frequently underestimated by operators entering the Australian market. Standard general liability policies often contain exclusions or limitations that are directly relevant to travel operations.

Common problem areas include:

• Exclusion of adventure activities such as white-water rafting, skydiving, four-wheel-drive touring, diving, and other high-risk experiences common in Australian itineraries

• Territorial limits that may not extend to multi-country Asia-Pacific programs operated from an Australian base

• Reliance on supplier insurance without independently verifying the scope, currency, and adequacy of that coverage

• Professional indemnity gaps where itinerary design, specialist advice, or representations form part of the service

• Policy wording that assumes an agent role when the operator may be treated as principal for liability purposes

Operators contracting with adventure experience providers should obtain certificates of currency from those suppliers and confirm that the policy covers guided activities, the operator's clients as named parties, and the relevant geographic territory. This should be reviewed alongside, not separately from, contract terms and operating model.

11. Client Refunds, Cancellations, and Force Majeure Reality

Australian-based operators carry disproportionate refund risk during disruption events. The country's geographic position, bushfire and weather risks, and the long lead times on international travel programs mean that periods of disruption are not uncommon. Client funds already partially or fully committed to suppliers who are unwilling or unable to refund create a structural tension between client-facing obligations and recovery from the supply chain.

Key risk areas include:

• Non-refundable supplier deposits that are contractually excluded from recovery on cancellation

• Force majeure clauses in supplier contracts that protect the supplier without creating corresponding obligations to refund

• Refund obligations denominated in USD or GBP while supplier refund recoveries are in AUD, with FX movements working against the operator

• Timing gaps between paying refunds to clients and receiving any recoveries from suppliers

• ACL obligations that may create consumer rights to refund regardless of the operator's commercial position

Operators that use conservative deposit structures, maintain aligned cancellation terms with suppliers, and model refund scenarios under disruption events are significantly better positioned to absorb disruption without creating a liquidity crisis.

12. Credit Risk and Receivables Management

Inbound operators commonly extend informal credit to overseas agents and wholesalers, particularly established relationships. Over time, this can accumulate into meaningful receivables exposure, especially where payment terms are loosely defined or inconsistently enforced.

Common weaknesses include:

• Final balance payments collected too close to the departure date to allow effective credit recovery

• Absence of formal credit limits for agent partners

• Deposit obligations that are not contractually enforced

• Inadequate escalation procedures when payments are delayed

Receivables discipline in travel is a cash flow management function, not an administrative one. Operators that scale without formal credit policies frequently find that growth is partly funded by de facto credit extended to overseas partners without equivalent risk assessment.

13. Supplier Risk and Supply Chain Management

Australian inbound programs often involve layered subcontracting. Operators may contract with aggregators or platform-based experience providers who themselves engage guides, drivers, or local operators. This supply chain introduces risk at multiple levels.

Supplier insolvency, licensing failure, uninsured liability, or service failure can rapidly become the operator's financial and reputational problem. Strong supplier onboarding, documentation of insurance and licensing, payment timing controls, and escalation procedures are risk management tools rather than administrative overhead.

The concentration of supplier payments in seasonal peaks, particularly for summer and school holiday programs, and the requirement for significant advance deposits create periods of elevated cash exposure where supplier counterparty risk is most consequential.

14. Data, Systems, and Audit Readiness

GST audits, banking reviews, ATIA compliance assessments, and commercial due diligence exercises increasingly rely on the quality and consistency of financial data. Fragmented booking systems, manual spreadsheets, inconsistent treatment of deposits and advances, and incomplete supplier reconciliations create audit friction and increase exposure during regulatory reviews.

Key risk areas include:

• Inability to reconcile client receipts to supplier payments at individual trip level

• FX differences that cannot be traced to specific bookings or hedging transactions

• GST positions unsupported by compliant tax invoices or apportionment workings

• Inconsistent revenue recognition timing for deposits, advances, and confirmed bookings

Operators that invest early in clean data structures, trip-level reconciliation, and disciplined bookkeeping reduce regulatory risk materially and gain better visibility into actual margin performance.

15. Financial Reporting and Common Distortions

Many Australian inbound operators appear profitable on a headline basis while experiencing operational cash flow pressure. Common accounting distortions include:

• FX gains and losses recognised inconsistently or excluded from trip-level margin calculations

• Supplier costs misallocated across periods or trips, obscuring true itinerary profitability

• GST incorrectly treated as fully recoverable without reference to the taxable or GST-free mix of outputs

• Client deposits recognised as revenue on receipt rather than at the point of service delivery

• Refund and cancellation liabilities understated in financial projections

Accurate trip-level accounting, disciplined reconciliation, and consistent FX treatment are essential to understanding true business performance. The gap between apparent profitability and actual cash generation is frequently the source of unexpected working capital stress as businesses scale.

16. How Antravia Approaches Australia

Antravia does not treat Australia as a straightforward, low-risk market. The sophistication of the operating environment is precisely what makes financial and regulatory risk easy to underestimate.

Our work focuses on how tour operators, travel agents, and DMCs actually operate in Australia, where GST exposure sits, how cash flows through the booking cycle, where payroll risk accumulates, how FX affects margins, and whether banking and trust account structures reflect operational reality.

We look at GST classification, superannuation obligations, payroll structure, FX exposure, cash flow timing, banking expectations, credit risk, and cross-border tax alignment together, not as separate compliance boxes. The most significant problems in Australian travel businesses rarely arise from a single gap. They arise from the interaction of several gaps that are each individually manageable but collectively material.
