In order to operate in Australia, you must report transactions over a certain threshold.

See: https://www.austrac.gov.au/business/how-comply-guidance-and-...

I have it good authority [1], that quite a few local Australian banks report when the threshold is 1000 or more.

For international transfers any amount must be reported:

Your linked Austrac page refers to cash transactions ("physical currency"). This one[0] however, says that any international funds transfer instruction (of any amount) needs to be reported.

If you get their eftpos card and never wire remaining balance to aussie then it can remain untaxed?

Plus you're not doing international wire - they transfer from their local account (not 100% sure how it's accounted tho).

This is what I want to know
