My wife and I have been living here since 2007 on a non-contributory aged parent visa and I still have to make a Tax Return each year to HM Revenue & Customs. I have just received my uk tax coding notice for 2014-15 and notice that the UK State pension in the minus column is different to what it was last UK financial year i.e it has increased by about GB400.00. I don't understand how this can happen because UK pensions are frozen when you come over here i.e. it shouldn't fluctuate. My uk state pension is paid direct to me here in AUD and varies with the rate of exchange applicable on the date of transfer. If anyone can shine a light on this I would be most appreciative. Rgds

We are on a waiting list for permanent residency visa subclass 804 (aged parent). We bought our first apartment in 2008 following the FIRB rules of that time which dictated we must buy a 'new' property. We are now thinking of selling this apartment and buying another. Does anyone know whether we have to again buy 'new' or can we now buy 'previously owned' property? I have tried to get a definitive answer over the phone with the FIRB but not had any luck so has anybody have an answer to this question? Rgds topmast777
