I moved to Australia a few weeks before i turned 14. Worked out great. Although i did miss my previous best friend of course.

Well you need to understand what remain in the UK means

According to wikipedia it can lapse if you leave UK for more than 2 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indefinite_leave_to_remain

It isn't an age issue. It comes down to how much money you have. If you are a citizen you can move back at any age.

Stay in Australia until your preservation age which is 60. Declare yourself permanently retired. Withdraw all your Super if you like and then move back to the UK. Only 7 years so not that long. Depends on your balance perhaps but if you have a lot in Super that is what I would be doing.

It is a family decision. Families make these decisions to have children and know all the ramifications in doing so. It is good that many improvements have been made over the years. I was lucky to get 1 day off special leave when my child was born. Now the men get some official paternitly leave. Not everything is about money though.

My understanding is you are no allowed to move into a property owned by your super fund. This would a serious breach. Make sure you get advice before doing that.

Can't you just go up to the top of Centrepoint tower to get a great view of the city 360 degrees. I assume it is still there.

When you start a brand new permanent job with any employer in Australia it is quite usual for your employment contract to include a 6 month probation period. So if you turn out to be useless the employer can easily get rid of you. So banks may well want you to have passed this point before they lend you a lot of money.

If you have ever sold any crypto then they will probably send you that message every year. But i think now all those crypto companies do provide information to the ATO.

You might be right. I hadn't considered that.

I am an amateur too but if it was me i would not be declaring anything to the taxman. I doubt they would ever find out unless you are audited for some other reason. Years ago i received a fairly sizeable inheritance from the UK when my father died. It wouldn't be taxable but my point is i was never queried by anyone where this money came from and the ATO was none the wiser. So i would not worry about. Just send the money over when you want.

Can you even get a resident return visa when you were never a resident in the first place? Sounds unlikely to me.

It is a bit like a ponzi scheme.

People have no idea how this actually works. The Ni contributions received from all workers this year need to cover the pension payments for all those receiving pensions this year. So to make it simple if you have a million workers and 100,000 pensioners the NI contributions made by the million workers only need to be large enough to pay for the 100,000 pensioners claiming this year. That is how the system has always worked. You are not contributing the full amount to cover your own pension as many incorrectly assume. Just contributing to a pool of money to support the number of pensioners claiming.
