Hi there,

i really worried that because its taken us so long to sell our home in the uk that we are going to have to pay capital gains tax on the profit.

our story is as follows. Move to Oz 6 years 4 months ago as temporary residents (457) became PR 2 years ago. We couldn't sell our home and had to rent it out between 2007 and 2012. It went back on the market a year ago and has been empty for that past year, we finally sold it last week and will be transferring the profits to Australia. I'm going to be spewing if because we've gone over the 6 year exemption period by 4 months that we will have to pay CGT. We don't own a property in Australia by the way. I'm hoping the 6 year period starts only when we became PR.

TIA

Would anyone be able to tell me how long after the visa is granted you have to enter Australia? I heard it had something to do with the dates of the police checks and medicals?

thanks

So glad all is well with you now (hubby and I are still in limbo for now :err:

 

 

I agree a visit is the only way to go with Centrelink.......I'll have to remember that for when my turn comes :wink:

 

Stay positive you WILL get there :cute:

Hi there! I'm new to this thread.

My husband is providing an assurance of support for his mother, we got nowhere on the phone, so I downloaded the application form from centerlinks website, completed it and took it along with all his ID/proof of income etc... To the local centerlink office it was a 40 min wait but at least it's got the ball rolling. Just waiting for them to come back to us now with an interview date. I hope it happens soon as my inlaws deadline is 10th December.... I think they may have to get another extension!

Hi there,

hoping someone can put my mind at rest over this! My mother in law and her husband have applied for a CPV and my husband has to provide assurance of support. We were sent the letter last month and have only just had chance to lodge the paperwork at Centerlink. What next? I'm assuming they contact us to arrange an interview and pay the bond? Trouble is we've just found out that my inlaws have to submit all of their paperwork by 10th Dec!! Any idea of the timeframe for centerlink to inform Immigration of the outcome? What happens if the don't meet the deadline?

thanks
