Pommie Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Hi All I wonder if one of PIO's tax experts could offer some advice. I live in Oz on a 457 for 5 years with my family (2009-2015). We left just before our visa expired and intended to permanently leave Australia. After we were struggling to settle in the UK, we applied and received a 189 PR visa, which we will use to permanently move to Oz in the future (we are still in the UK for now). Now, up to this point I believe it is fairly clear that we are no longer tax residents of Australia. However, I may have an opportunity to work overseas in the middle east and if i did so, my wife and children would likely return to Australia and set up home, (essentially a few years before me). I would work in the middle east and they would travel out to see me on School hols. I guess I would get some opportunity to pass through Australia with work (the company has some projects in Oz) but infrequently. I would also have a property still in the UK with a mortgage on it an my middle eastern contract would reference the UK as my home base. What I am wondering is whether I would be deemed an Australian resident for tax purposes ?? Any one able to offer any help ? Thanks Edited July 10, 2016 by Pommie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew from Vista Financial Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Hello Pommie You have posted in the Vista forum (pensions, investments, mortgages) therefore I will move to the Money and Finance section however you may be wise approaching a Tax Adviser directly and discussing in detail your plans with them and have them advise you accordingly.

Alan Collett Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Hello Pommie. I doubt you will obtain authoritative advice on a relatively technical issue such as this on an open forum such as this. You may need to be prepared to pay a professional for advice that explores your situation fully ... In the meantime, have a look at Tax Ruling IT2650. Best regards.
