Challenges to the validity of local council levies
The way that local councils issue special levies, and deal with errors made in the passing of those levies, has come under spotlight in the recent High Court of Australia decision.
Doing business anywhere in the Asia Pacific region is extraordinary. At times the challenges can be immense, but so too the rewards.
There is nothing that can compare with the excitement of concluding a successful transaction, establishing a new business, or developing a new project in any one of the jurisdictions here. One deal leads to another, relationships accumulate, and layer upon layer of knowledge and trust are developed over time.
Norton Rose Fulbright has been active across the Asia Pacific region for several decades now. This is the eleventh edition of Doing Business in Asia Pacific we have produced at the behest of our clients, who have been very clear that this comprehensive guide to doing business in the region is something they value. This latest edition, edited by Partner Michael Joyce, covers the following jurisdictions:
Australia
China
Hong Kong
India
Indonesia
Japan
Malaysia

All of the facts are here in our publication. We cover visas and work permits, types of business entities, business environment and regulation, policy on foreign investment, government initiatives, government incentives, taxation, workplace relations and the means to forestall or resolve disputes.
We wish you great success in all your business dealings in Asia Pacific, and would be pleased to provide additional information and advice about any of the issues discussed in this guide.
