Thanks to those for the clarification on this. I have now managed to get it sorted, changed my address to Uk on my Oz account and left out the TFN.

Because I thought it was the correct thing to do. The bank now have my UK address, I have deleted the TFN, they are also wanting my NI number in the UK

Hi thank you for your time in replying. In my scenario which would be the correct visa for my partner? Can you recommend a immigration agent?

Thank you for your time in replying. I have just updated my bank with My tfn, as they started to apply the fullrate of withholding tax on my bank account. I earn interest on my bank account and selling my items still in storage in Australia, my question is if I am not expected to do a tax return as I am a non resident what happens to the funds I earn from both these situations? Also was I supposed advise the ato every year that I have been outside of the country?

Thanks for your help Hi thank you for your time replying, I have just updated my bank with My tfn, as they started to apply the fullrate of withholding they have credited back the money they stopped. I am confused as my understanding is that I should have been doing a tax return each year I was away as I was earning interest on my bank account and also have been selling items still in storage in Australia but as a non resident I was not expected to. Also was I supposed advise the ato every year that I have been outside of the country? Thanks for your help

The first year that I left Australia I called the ATO and advised them that I would not be returning for the next few years, I was informed that a tax return would not be required. Was I suppose to do this every year and lodge a "return not necessary form", as this was not explained on the phone contact that I had at the time.

Hi, Can you good people advise what is the accepted course of application for me (Ireland based Oz citizen) and my partner for 14 years (Uk citizen) to apply for a Partner Visa in Oz? Is it frowned upon for her to travel with me on a tourist visa and apply while in the Oz? Or apply from the Uk / Ireland? My concern is the time the application takes from overseas as I am looking at returning Aug 2024. Also what sub class visa should we be looking at? Thanks for your time in replying.

I did have a conversation with the tax office when I left to advise them.47% is the top rate for withholding tax. It's only started to be charged from the 1st October. The bank has my Australian address, I'm reluctant to give them my address overseas. So I'm in a bit of predicament.

My question is regarding supplying a TFN.

Hi, Just a quick question: As of 1st Oct I have been charged the top rate withholding tax on the interest in my bank account in Australia, I have a TFN but wanted to check if its best to give it to them or not? I am currently living outside of Australia. I have no home or any rental earnings there, only earning in Australia is bank account interest, I am am Australian citizen and the last tax return was 2009 as I have been out of the country since then. Can you advise what is the best course of action to take? Thanks

Thanks, just proves that this could work out for someone heading home bound.

Thanks for the helpful advice, it really is a lovely peaceful spot to be. I will sort out some more pictures and post them here.

I am lucky to have no fixed plans on where I re-settle having been there 5 years ago. I am open to all the main areas of Australia Wa, Sa, Qld, Nsw, Vic. except NT or Act

As I said it was a long shot. I never said the properties needed to be of similar value. I would of course expect a cash adjustment either way for the exchange of properties. People come and go from Australia and Ireland all the time, this might just work out well for someone in the same position as me. My property is a 3 bed on 12 Acres.with Atlantic ocean views. valued at $455k plus can offer a cash addition of $150k.

Hi Guys, I am currently in the process of selling my place in Ireland and looking at returning to Australia. I Thought I would create a new topic and see if there is a chance of any guys currently in Australia that are looking at returning to Ireland and would consider an exchange for properties? I know its a long shot but thought it worth a mention Many Thanks
