    Your visa would entail a business setup in Australia and will be subject to Australian income tax on your profits on an estimated 27.5% to 30% tax rate). If your country has a double taxation agreement with Australia, your Australian business is generally taxed on profits generated by your establishment in Australia. There are no state or municipal taxes on business income in Australia. To get specific answers to your question regarding structuring businesses for tax effectiveness, you are recommended to speak with a qualified tax accountant.

    This is a specialist area of taxation law, and you really need to obtain advice from an accountant with experience in this area.

    The same tax liabilities as any resident person or company in the circumstances. I am not an accountant, so I cannot advise regarding the minimization of taxation.
