MelanieJS Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I'm moving to Brisbane in December with my Australian partner and will have permanent resident status. I am currently a scheduler for an Outside Broadcast company and I am hoping to keep my job and work from home (in Brisbane). Does anyone have advice about how to go about this and what is required? Do I have to become a contractor and set up a limited company in Oz? Should I get paid in Aussie currency rather than UK pounds? Where do I pay tax, UK or Oz? Sorry for so many questions but I don't know where else to look. Any information will be much appreciated. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERYSTORMY Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 You can do it, that is not an issue. However, I would speak to a good accountant to get things set up for tax. You would pay tax in Australia and you can do that either as a sole trader or as a company. It will depend on a number of factors that an accountant can decide which is the best way to go. Currency is also one for an accountant - I have been paid previously in a range of currencies - usually US$. However, again professional advice needed as there are pluses and minuses - there are costs involved in being paid in another currency but there can be benefits on conversions due to exchange rates.
