Australian Residency Tax Changes and Implications for Aussie Expats

Australian Residency Tax Changes and Implications for Aussie Expats

Hidden away in the back of the Australian Budget and unmentioned in the Treasurers speech, was a simple statement confirming that:

“The Government will replace the individual tax residency rules with a new framework that is easy to understand, provides certainty and reduces compliance costs for globally mobile individuals and their employers.”

The Budget has flagged that these changes will likely come into effect from the 1st July 2022.

Join us as we clarify:

  • Proposed changes to the Australian Residency Rules
  • Negative impacts of the "Bright Line Rule & Factor Test"
  • What the new Superannuation changes will mean for expats
  • Lobbying against unreasonable Residency Rule changes

Will the Australian Property Market Crash?

Will the Australian Property Market Crash?

Australian property prices look to be on a rocketing path, with first home buyers, low-interest rates and FOMO (fear of missing out) fueling the demand for the start of 2021.

However, with stimulus packages coming to an end, and international borders remaining closed, can this extraordinary demand for property continue? And, what impact will this have on expats trying to establish themselves in the Australian property market?

Join SMATS Group, in conjunction industry expert, Craig Holding and Australian Business Council of Abu Dhabi, for this podcast that will provide important context around the climate and strength of Australia's property market fundamentals.
