Australia is the Asia-Pacific management or service base for about 400 multinational companies.

Advantages for businesses investing in Australia can include government tax incentives enabling deduction of certain relocation expenses and some purchases of business equipment.

Training, research and development and marketing are also areas where government incentives may apply within a government program called "Invest Australia".

The Federal Government will consider the provision of investment incentives to strategic investment projects in limited and special circumstances where the project would generate significant net economic and employment benefits for Australia. Incentives are considered by the Australian government on a case by case basis.
