Tax Navigate is a boutique tax consulting firm with a focus on the marine industry and the taxation of yachts.

Our offerings include advising on the tax implications of private vs commercial yacht ownership, managing tax compliance for Australian charter operations (including for foreign flagged vessels that are fully imported or entered under a temporary licence), fiscal agency representation, sale and purchase advice and group structuring including foreign ownership and set up. We also obtain VAT refunds for yacht owners from non-Australian jurisdictions and can advise on the entry and tax considerations for yachts across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.

Our Managing Director is Jeff Pfaff, a former PwC Australia partner and long-term tax professional with over 25 years’ experience, including 9 years at the Australian Taxation Office. Jeff is a registered tax agent and a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia & New Zealand and the Tax Institute of Australia.
