Working In Australia

[Dom Churchill]

Hiya Everyone and thank you for taking the time to read this post and helping out.

 

Basically I am thinking of taking a career break from my current employment, and taking off to Perth to see my sister for a few years or so. I am thinking of undertaking a student visa and learning a trade out there.

 

My sister says that she could get me a job out there to help support myself, and help pay my board but my enquiry is:

if I work in Australia, as I am permitted to work up to 20 hours under the conditions of a student visa, will it be shown back in the UK in terms of paying tax and the Inland Revenue bods??

 

Thank you once again

 

Dom

Hi Dom, I will move your thread to money and finance as thats where the experts hang out so hopefully they can advise.

Unless you have property in the UK or other assets I don't see why you would need to fill in a UK tax return - declaring overseas income - if you are out of the UK for the tax year.

The danger with the plan will be the international student fees in Australia- they are likely be huge*

 

* I'm assuming you would be on a student visa and are not a permanent resident.

Hi there SP

 

I will be applying for a Student Visa. I will be a Mature International Student (I am 36 years old so don't qualify for the Working Visa option).

 

The course I want to do is around AUS$12000 plus resource fees and uniform costs. Yes it is expensive, but it will, hopefully, lead to a permanent visa once I complete the course.
