Company & Trust Residency
Does my Pty Ltd move with me, and what breaks?
Your Pty Ltd doesn’t automatically move with you, and it doesn’t automatically stay put either. A company’s tax residency follows its central management and control: where the real high-level decisions are actually made. Move that abroad and the company can become a tax resident of two countries at once, with a cascade of consequences.
This maps each of your entities (companies and trusts) to a specific risk verdict and the specific thing that breaks, with fixes ranked. Trusts with a departing trustee get their own severe warning.
