  1. Page 12 of the baggage guide (http://www.malaysiaairlines.com/content/dam/mas/master/en/pdf/book-plan/Baggage-Information.pdf) suggests that one gol bag up to 15kg would be free.
  2. I think the OP (or their partner) is the primary holder of the 457, not their son who is the applicant for the new visa.
  3. He/she posted the same link in their first post 3 months ago. Advertising?
  4. Registering a relationship has the same effect a getting married - you have to prove a current de facto relationship at the time of applying, rather than a relationship that has been ongoing for 12 months. The QLD application form (which has details of the requirements) is http://www.justice.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/134185/application-to-register-a-relationship-form15.pdf. Bridging visas issued to applicants for partner visas do not have any restrictions on working.
  5. This should give you an idea on the 100 points: http://www.mymortgageplanner.com.au/downloads/100point_checklist.pdf
  6. The rate published in the press is the average of the actual rates for buying and selling the currency on the financial markets. The actual rates at which anyone can buy or sell currency from a bank or other provider is slightly different, which is how dealers cover their costs and make money. The amount of this difference (the margin) varies - generally banks work on a bigger margin (I.e. a worse deal for the consumer) than specialist providers.
  7. NAB will write to you to confirm receipt, a few days after it arrives in your account. Moneycorp and similar brokers have a margin of up to 1% compared to the mid-market rate - the bank margin is about 5%.
  8. The earliest number (nearest the top) should be 30, so that 30 divided by 2 is 15 - she has 15 divided by 2 rather than 15 as the answer.
  9. The actual quote is "What this visa lets you do This visa lets you travel to Australia to: have a holiday or visit family and friends in Australia study in Australia for up to three months engage in business activities while in Australia, provided you: do not work for or provide services to a business or organisation in Australia do not sell goods or services to the public." http://www.immi.gov.au/visas/visitor/600/ It also says the visa might be suitable for negotiating or attending a conference. Taken together, I would read that as you can come over to make a sale, but not to do the work resulting from that sale.
  10. NRL1 is the form. If you do not file it with HMRC then your tenant or agent has to deduct basic rate tax from your rent payments and pay it to HMRC. (There a couple of other conditions to satisfy when you file NRL1).
  11. Because the OP may be travelling as a British Citizen moving to another EU state? There may be restrictions on an Australian taking goods to Spain that are not relevant for a Brit.
  12. BA and Qantas do allow you to see the fare rules before you pay - I'd be surprised if other major airlines didn't.
  13. Charges will depend on your ticket - the cheapest tickets charge the most (if they allow changes at all). The fare rules will detail the charges for the ticket you choose. Are you unable to book the return for September because the airline doesn't allow bookings that far in advance? (For example BA only allows flights to be booked 355 days ahead.) The fare rules will tell you how long the maximum trip is - you should find that some tickets allow a return up to a year after the outbound flight, but some have tighter rules. You can read the fare rules as part of the online booking process, or an agent like STA or Trailfinders will help you sort it out for a small fee.
  14. The 10 years is just for reporting, I thought. The QROPS administrator has to tell HMRC about transactions, but it is only those transactions that are not allowed under UK tax rules that attract the 55% charge.
  15. They will be keeping the VAT portion, and it probably does help pay for the free delivery. The website says the price also doesn't vary for deliveries elsewhere in the EU, even though VAT rates differ. The stores in the Channel Islands charge the same as stores in the UK - they claimed that the VAT saving was exactly matched by the increased distribution costs. BTW - the VAT-free price would by 16.7% lower, not 20%.
  16. One way would be to threaten a website's owners with legal action for libel if negative posts were made. Whether the action would succeed may be debatable, but the costs involved in defending it would put the owners off. It would be easier to agree that posts would be edited so that the name isn't mentioned.
  17. Google FIRB - they are the body who regulate investment in Aus by non-residents. If I remember correctly, they can invest in an investment property if it adds to the housing stock i.e. is new.
  18. Changing names isn't possible with almost all airlines.
  19. I would guess it includes child/working tax credits, and the recent paperwork is the annual renewal forms.
  20. I don't see the link - there is no gain or loss until it is realised on sale, in the same way that gains and losses on shares are not assessable each year. Should a overseas property be treated differently to an overseas share portfolio, for example?
  21. And if you had a valuation from a qualified, experienced professional at the time you moved?
  22. If there is a gain (in Australian dollars) the ATO would want their share, so why should it be different for a loss?
