Frequently Asked Questions
Can an Australian citizen inherit property in China?
Yes, Australian citizens have full inheritance rights under Chinese law for property located in China. Documents from Australia require notarization, DFAT authentication, and Chinese consulate legalization. Call 18664921865 for comprehensive inheritance services.
How do I sell Chinese property while living in Australia?
Through a notarized power of attorney authorizing a representative in China to handle the sale. Proceeds after Chinese tax clearance can be remitted to Australia. Our team at +86 18664921865 provides full-service transaction management.
Do I pay Australian tax on Chinese inheritance?
Australia taxes residents on worldwide income. Inheritances themselves are not subject to income tax, but capital gains on inherited assets sold later may be taxable. China has no inheritance tax. Professional advice is recommended.
Can my Australian will cover my Chinese assets?
An Australian will may not be sufficient for Chinese assets due to Chinese inheritance law requirements. We recommend a separate China-specific will or a properly structured cross-border estate plan.
Can an Australian company sue a Chinese company?
Yes, an Australian company can bring legal action against a Chinese company in Chinese courts or through arbitration. The appropriate forum depends on contract terms. We provide comprehensive commercial litigation services.
Can I buy property in China as an Australian citizen?
Australian citizens can purchase residential property in China subject to local foreign buyer regulations. Commercial property investment may require establishing a Chinese entity. Call 18664921865 for pre-purchase guidance.
What happens to my Chinese bank accounts when I move to Australia?
Chinese bank accounts can remain open after moving to Australia. Under CRS, China reports financial information to Australian tax authorities. We provide guidance on cross-border banking compliance.
Can a Chinese student in Australia authorize legal representation in China?
Yes, Chinese students in Australia can grant a power of attorney to handle matters in China. The POA can be executed at the Chinese consulate or through remote notarization services.
