Hi everyone, First of all, thank you for your responses. Today I phoned NAB and apparently they will send the SMS code to any phone in the world. I will just have to use the telephone banking system to set it up. This being the case, I think I will stick to this rather than a fob type solution which I will certainly lose.

Hi and apologies for a second cry for advice in such rapid sequence. This one relates to tax. I am about to file my tax return for 2013/2014 here in Oz and will have worked about 4 months of the 2014/2015 by the time we leave the country to go to the UK. Has anyone filed an early tax return for the balance of the tax year worked in Auatralia? ...or does the balance just roll over into my assessable tax income when I file my UK taxes next year. What happens to the amounts my employer has been PAYGing on my behalf for these past four months? Is it lost in the ether? I know Ask a Tax Agent is the obvious answer but I don't know any I have a high level of confidence on.

Hello, I am in the process of moving from Perth (WA) to London with the wife. Because we have some shares and are also not too sure we won't be back in a couple of years time, we would like to keep an open bank account in Australia. The problem arises with the logistics of ordering international fund transfers. I bank with NAB and they issue an SMS code which you receive on your phone and then plug into the web page; great if you are in Australia, not so great if you don't want to keep an Australian phone contract for ever and pay roaming charges. Has anyone found the silver bullet for this? Are there cards or keychain type fobs that serve the same purpose? Thanks in advance

You think it's ridiculous because you are applying? It would be ridiculous if they denied your visa without having applied, otherwise it seems pretty clear cut to me. A residency permit is a permit to reside, to come and go as you want you need to be a citizen.

Thanks! My employer pays my Australian professional membership fees (so cant claim those) but not the UK ones.

Good afternoon. I am a UK trained engineer currently living in WA. I am a member of a UK professional institution and was wondering if the feed were tax deductible on the Australian tax return. I know that the Oz equivalent, Engineers Australia is deductible but am unsure about foreign memberships. Any help would be appreciated
