Expat Chat Episode 93 – What To Consider When Leaving Australia
Welcome to the ninety third episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat.
In today’s Expat Chat we talk about what you need to consider when you are leaving Australia and moving overseas to join the expat ranks.
According to the Australian population clock one Australian resident is moving overseas permanently to live every 2 minutes and 12 seconds which means that Australians are embracing the expat life after the Coronoa virus halted those movements.
Whether you have been working in Australia for 5 years or 15 years you would have accumulated some assets and leaving australia can complicate your understanding of how to manage those assets due to the different rules you need to consider.
There is also a fair bit of housekeeping you need to do before you move overseas but the good news is that not all of this has to be done before you jump on the plane and some of it can be done after you leave.
