I am Dr. Manjula Kulathunga, an entrepreneur, migration law expert, and business leader with a passion for innovation and cross-border collaboration. Since moving to Australia in 2001 to pursue my MBA, I have founded and led multiple ventures spanning migration consultancy, logistics, human resources, real estate, and nancial services, fostering economic growth in both Sri Lanka and Australia. Today, my businesses employ over 850 individuals and maintain a global presence across Australia, Dubai, Qatar, Singapore, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka.

As the founder of Australian Migration Consultants, I have guided individuals and businesses through skilled, business, and investor visa pathways, pioneering migration services across multiple regions. My leadership extends to Ceilão Logistics Group, a leading distributor of FMCG brands, and Australian Talent Network, which specializes in executive recruitment for multinational corporations. Additionally, my work with Australian Property Consultants supports Sri Lankans in navigating the real estate market in Australia and Sri Lanka, while Ceilão EZY facilitates seamless nancial transactions between the two countries.

Beyond business, I am committed to philanthropy and community service. My companies have supported initiatives such as the Around the Pearl cycling event for children with cerebral palsy, the 1333 suicide prevention awareness ride, and the Kidney Walk 2019 fundraiser. I firmly believe in using business as a force for positive change.

Why Understanding the Australian Taxation System is Crucial:

For property buyers in Australia, it is essential to understand the implications of the Australian taxation system. You may qualify as a resident for tax purposes, which could provide you with valuable tax benefits. Additionally, property buyers may benefit from the concept such as Negative Gearing when lodging their annual tax return.

If you are selling an investment property, you might be eligible to use the discount method to reduce your Capital Gains Tax liabilities, a critical opportunity for maximizing the return on your investments.

Beyond Taxation:

In addition to my professional work, I am deeply passionate about public speaking and involved with Toastmasters, where I continually strive to improve my communication skills. Volunteering is also an important part of my life. I contribute to various charities, alumnae associations, fundraisers, and community societies, as I strongly believe in giving back to society and making a positive impact within my community.
