    The tax credit is only available once the UK tax is paid, I believe. This means that for tax deducted at source the credit is available as you receive the income. If you pay all the tax after the year end, then you have to submit revised returns once you have paid so that the credit is matched against the income. The ATO guidance is http://www.ato.gov.au/content/00313612.htm.

    Your rental income (less interest and other deductions) is assessable in Australia as it arises. Your income is not going into the capital value of the house - it is servicing and reducing the loan. If you pay tax in the UK on the rental income then you can claim a tax credit on your Australian return. There may also be CGT to consider when you sell. Your interest income is also assessable as it arises - whether/when it is remitted to Australia is irrelevant (unless you make significant foreign exchange gains/losses before you bring it over).

    Bringing money from your savings in the UK into Australia will not count as income in Australia.

    As you have found, taking it all as a lump sum is not possible. Such a payment would be unauthorised under UK tax rules, and would attract a hefty tax charge (55% or so). The rules are the same whether you are in the UK or not. Most schemes allow you to take up to 25% free of UK tax - but I don't know what the Aus tax treatment would be.

    Viagogo is a worldwide "secondary sales"/"ticket exchange" site.

    You do not make a specific application for a Bridging Visa - it is granted if you make a valid application onshore for a visa. I am guessing you have PR and will be her sponsor? The fee is paid at the time of application.

    They should be certified in Aus.

    It is the first Sunday in September.

    They've probably got a point. Good chance he won't be able to play in the second game.

    Are you applying in Australia or elsewhere? Have you looked at the DIAC website for the current fees? DIAC won't provide advice - it is not their job.

    There is a risk that tourist visas (particularly 12 month ones) may have condition 8503 applied (No Further Stay) which means you cannot apply for a visa onshore. If that condition is not applied, you can.

    In Australia most JPs/solicitors etc. have a stamp, but in the UK the list of people who certify is longer and many won't have one.

    DIAC advise an average time of 13 months for applications in Australia.

    The UK rules only refer to furnished and unfurnished - as far as HMRC are concerned there is no 'part-furnished'. If it is furnished then you can claim the 10% flat allowance. There is no definition of furnished in the legislation. If you are claiming individual expenses, the question becomes was the new door a repair or did it improve the property? Improvements should be capitalised, repairs are expensed.

    Print out the grant email. (They are supposed to use the online VEVO system to check your status, but don't)

    Unfortunately Parcel Force are a courier - the postal address is for postal deliveries (e.g. Special Delivery, first class, etc.). The address for couriers is different.
  18. Notts
    Which address did you send it to, and how did you send it?

    If you bought it from Apple it is probably unlocked. If you got it from O2 you will probably need to get it unlocked.

    You can get prepaid (PAYG) and postpaid (contract) mobile phone deals. Which network are you with at the moment - is your phone unlocked?

    Only if they are 15 or over, according to the form http://www.humanservices.gov.au/spw/customer/forms/resources/3101-1211en.pdf

    Your UK home (assuming it is your only property and you have lived there since you bought it) will not be liable for UK capital gains tax if sold within 36 months of leaving, as any gains will be covered by 'Principal permanent residence' relief. If you buy in Aus, then (depending on your visa) any gain since becoming a tax resident in Aus could be taxable, so you will need a valuation for that. Just bringing the money into Aus does cause any tax issues - selling gives rise to the gain whether the money stays in the UK or is moved.

    From other answers I've seen on here, PR applies to each person individually and separately: once it is granted you keep it (unless there was fraud involved in getting it), regardless of changes in circumstances.

    I don't think you need to send photos, other than the ones included in your passport, driving licence or other forms of id - no photos are listed on the application form.

    Reading that page, registration only seems to be required if you were citizens by descent who have moved to the UK - as you are citizens other than by descent, he is a citizen automatically. I believe that when you come to apply for his UK passport you will need to prove your citizenship status to confirm he is a UK citizen.
