Hi there. I'm an Aussie who left Australia for London when I was 33. I did not have private health cover up to that point. Whilst in London I did have private health cover. I'm now 41 and we have now just returned to Australia. I've been told that I have to pay 20% extra loading on any private health premiums. 2% for every year I have not had private cover. The Australian insurance companies will not recognise my 8 years of private medical coverage whilst in London. So I have to start from scratch. Is this correct? Have others had the same experience when returning to Oz? Thanks Paul

So consultation finished ... https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/implementing-a-capital-gains-tax-charge-on-non-residents Is the situation any clearer at this point?
