I'm a Permanent resident, mid 20’s, no dependants and no long term plans to stay here in Oz or head back to UK, currently undecided. For time being I'm not making the most of my savings, which are in an account earning little interest. Considering buying a UK property as an investment to rent out. I’d try to deposit around 25% and mortgage of around 75%, if possible to do so. When it comes to Australian tax I understand I would need to declare any profits for tax due. Would loses/costs be eligible for tax deductions? Is there any UK/Australian tax issues that may arise if I ping and pong between Australia and UK? Or perhaps I should consider alternative investments to UK property? I'd be interested to hear your views, thanks.

Hi, i am currently completing the artc application for electrical mechanic. I have previously been employed and also as a sub-contractor, would I need to include statments from suppliers, quotations/invoices and client references?? Also does anyone have any sample/templates for the proof of employment section? Thanks

Seems best to start with the ARTC. Just wondering how much detail is required for 'employment statement' on the ARTC application??

Like you say better to be safe than sorry! Direct travel is cheapest i can find, £180-£200.. Anyone seen any cheaper??

Hi, I’m after some advice please, I have seen so much conflicting information I don’t know where to start!! I’m UK qualified spark travelling to Oz on a WHV (417) starting off in Perth. I’m not currently looking to get an A grade licence but may do in the future. From what I understand I can still work without the A grade although it will be supervised with less pay, and prior to working I will need to obtain a TRA or ARTC? Can in apply for this in the UK? What is the TRA or ARTC, a written and practical assessment? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated

I will be in Oz later this year backpacking and working, Is it worth getting travel insurance??
