What is the tax rate on the capital gains, also I thought you only pay tax in one country either in UK or australia is that true.

Hi there, if was to rent our house out here for two years then want to sell after a couple of years, do you have to pay capital gains tax. Or can you just sell and transfer the money. Thanks Simon

Ok thanks guys, is there monthly charges for the account and cash withdrawals at all,

Hi, what is the best bank to go with? We want a normal account for our salaries to go in to, preferably with no fees for drawing out money and monthly fees etc. Thanks Simon

Applied for nsw. And they didn't contact any of my references.

Just hang in there, we gave up hope, we just moved on with things as best as we could. Just have to try and forget about it. It will come.

Congratulations, amazing feeling isn't it. Seems like lots are getting granted now though, keep the faith guys.

Thank you.

Hi every one. Could someone put simply the situation of renting out house in UK while living in aus. We want to rent ours out here, the money we get from it here will be kept in UK account not used in australia. This tax thing is really confusing. Thanks Simon

Ar wicked we wanted Melbourne or brisbane but had to settle for nsw. Bet your so excited.

Sure is a massive relief, it's only me and my wife. We heading to nsw. We are thinking activate it, they going next October/November. Save more money etc. Where are you heading to

Ha ha I'm useally really patient to but that wait, and not knowing how far along the application is really does test you lol. Yup onwards and upwards now. We are thinking about activating it in december as we are in Vietnam and Bali then anyway so thought while there activate.

Ha ha, same here. Lol. We need to activate it by the 12th of April so looking to do a activation trip I think, prob the end of March. See what the work situation is out there. We going to nsw.

Put a spanner right in the works now this has lol.

Visa granted. 190 general plumber. Submitted 20th march. Every thing uploaded by 14th April. No further information required. Granted 14th September.

Congratulations every one, lots coming through now, by the looks of it.

Lodged 20th march, not bothered anymore. Totally put it on back burner. Wife has brought a horse I've joint a football team, going Vietnam and Bali in december/Jan. We not waiting for the visa any more.

Ha ha won't fake death then lol, just was so fed up. We have got a plan b now and are giving it till Christmas so no visa by then it's no go.

Yea I know, but it may not aswell lol. What will be will be, and all that schnizle.

Because of this wait. We started the whole process in Jan 2016 and life has basically been on hold since then, and things are moving so slow that I just think it's gonna be the 11-15 months they say. Its just ridiculous. If it's not granted by next march then will have to do med and police checks again too which is more money.

Thanks I did read that on line was hoping there was a loop hole somewhere apart from faking my own death lol

Does anyone know if was to stop the application you would be able to claim the application fee back?

You too and everyone on here, we have actually been looking at houses now in country side and thinking maybe move there, if get the visa we active it, if things work here then cool, if not can go there and give it a shot. Would be nice if there was some sort of proper info on how your visa is doing, but there isn't so just have to accept it and get on with things. Least we have a nice summer here, o wait lol.

Haven't got a clue, I'm going on plumber to nsw, 60 points. Think it maybe something to do with the points. Says the waiting time is something like 11-15 months, we are just looking at it as 15 months now. Cant be bothered to keep looking and stressing about it anymore, what will be will be, we just getting on with things as normal. Just keep saving and will have more to go with, life goes on.

We lodged on 20 March, every thing uploaded by 8 April. Still waiting. Bored.
