Expat Chat Podcast

Welcome to the one hundred and twenty eighth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat talk about the incoming passenger arrival card that you need to complete when landing at an Australian airport. With many Australian expats looking to return home over the Christmas holidays to visit family and friends there is often confusion as to what box you tick on the passenger arrival card before you land. In the past there was quite a lot of apathy towards these cards but in todays digital world and with government departments linked electronically what you declare on these cards can make a dramatic difference as to whether it is plain sailing or greater scrutiny by government departments including the ATO. We have seen over the last couple of years these cards being used as evidence in court by the ATO when trying to argue a Australian expats residency. In this episode we run through the following topics: • What options are available to select? • Which box should I tick? • What happens to these cards after they are collected?

Welcome to the one hundred and twenty seventh episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we run through some more questions that have been asked in the Australian Expat Financial Forum Facebook group that we manage. Social media is a great tool for Australian expats living overseas as not only does it keep us in contact with friends and family back home but it can also be used to research and understand topics that affect you as an expat. With a plethora of Australian expat Facebook groups it is a common place to ask questions relating to expat life - where can I buy vegemite, what's a good school for my kids and many more. Many Australian expats will also ask questions relating to their personal financial circumstances and whilst it is great that everyone wants to help and share their opinion quite often there are incorrect answers being provided. That's why we started the Australian Expat Financial Forum. Its a place that Australian expats can share their expat financial war stories as well as ask questions that we can answer on this podcast. In this episode we run through the following topics: • How to setup a will across multiple jurisdictions? • How to setup for retirement when you don't know which country you will be in? • Can a Australian expat gift a property and not pay any tax? • What are the ATO obligations for drawing on a US 401k when residing in Australia?

Welcome to the one hundred and twenty fifth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we talk about can you rollover your foreign pension and retirement savings into a Australian superannuation account.

Some of these savings could include a UK pension, 401k from the US, RRSP from Canada, Provident Fund in Hong Kong, CPF in Singapore, End of Service Benefit in the UAE and many more. However it isn't always so simple just to take your foreign retirement savings and place it in your super fund. There are complications on where the funds are coming from, and the local jurisdictional rules, as well as how those funds are categorised when they enter Australia. In this episode we run through the following topics: • What is classified as a foreign pension? • Can I just move my foreign retirement savings into my superannuation? • What Australian rules apply to those funds entering Australia and my super account?

Before Julys election the UK Labour party pledged to address the issue of Non Dom residents and they look like they will be taking this and other topics a lot further. In this episode we run through the following topics: • How do the proposed Non Dom changes affect Australian expats? • Should a Australian expat in the UK reconsider their time in the country? • What are the proposed changes to the Inheritance Tax rules and how does this affect Australian expats in the UK?

Welcome to the one hundred and twenty third episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we talk about the news that the Australian government is looking to remove Negative Gearing and how that will affect Australian expats. We all know (or we should) that Australian expats don't get the ability to negative gear their property when you are classified as a non-resident for tax purposes however with so many owning property back in Australia any changes to the tax laws back home will affect their assets. With over 1 million Australians relying upon negative gearing concessions to fund the cashflow gap of Australian properties any changes to negative gearing will affect the property market but will it be positive or negative? In this episode we run through the following topics: • How does negative gearing work for Australian expats who own property in Australia? • If Canberra was to remove negative gearing what would it do to the property market? • How will a change in negative gearing rules affect renters?

Welcome to the one hundred and eighteenth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we talk about why Australian expats need to respond to the banks in Australia when they ask for identification. Many Australian banks are emailing their customers, including Australian expats overseas, asking for them to verify themselves by providing documents to verify their identity. Unfortunately in today's age where cyber crime is rife people are chosing to ignore these emails or alternatively don't believe they have to provide these documents which unfortunately leads to their account being locked. A raft of legislation has been passed by governments around the world that now makes it a legal requirement for banks and financial services companies to request this information in order to combat money laundering and terrorism financing. In this episode we run through the following topics: • Why do they want these documents? • What is the common reporting standard (CRS)? • How do I ensure the request is legitimite?

Welcome to the one hundred and seventeenth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we talk about the topic of whether an Australian expat can have a SMSF. We have covered this topic previously however it keeps popping up and its important that we run through this again because there is still a lot of incorrect information being passed around by expats and professionals. The main considersation that Australian expats need to understand when considering changes to their SMSF when they move overseas is that is the solution a stop gap or band aid fix or a qualified and compliant solution. The price for non-compliance is extremely steep for Australian expats and if the ATO deems the account as non-compliant you could lose 46% of the balance of the account in the first year. In this episode we run through the following topics: • What are the rules for a SMSF to be compliant? • Can't I just make a friend or family member a trustee? • How does the Central Management & Control (CM&C) rule affect expats? • Why is the active members test such an important one for expats?

Something as simple as a 60 second check of your super fund can determine whether your wishes as to where your retirement savings go are correct or not. There are also many rules as to who an Australian expat can nominate on their binding death benefit nomination and it isn't as simple as just picking someone.

Welcome to the one hundred and fifteenth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. With the Australian Federal government recently releasing the annual federal budget there were many hopes and expectations of tax reform and restructuring to prepare the Australian economy for the years ahead but unfortunately none of that was to come to occur. This years federal budget is all about positioning the Labor government for a election which maybe called as early as October this year. The message they tried to get across was that we are fiscally responsible and you can trust us to manage the economy but with stimulatory policies in a number of areas we will see pressure on inflation and a reasonable chance that either interest rates wont fall within 12 months and a small chance of a rate rise In this episode we run through the following topics: • What were the major announcements? • Do any of the announcements affect expats? • Is there an update on the proposed tax residency rule changes?

Welcome to the one hundred and fourteenth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. This episode was recorded before the recent floods in Dubai so it didn't get released in sync and you may notice us referring to a different episode number but as it addresses such an important topic for Australian expats in the United States we wanted to make sure it received some airtime. The US Exit Tax or HEART Tax Act plays a pivotal role when Australian expats living in the United States are either planning a repatriation back to Australia or are considering whether to extend their time in the US as a resident. What a lot of Australian expats living in the US don't realise is that, all depending on how long you've lived in the US and how much your networth is, you maybe hit with a nasty tax bill when it comes to leave the country. In this episode we run through the following topics: • What is the US Exit Tax? • Which expats does it affect? • How do they calculate the Exit Tax for expats?

In today’s Expat Chat we talk about is there a best time of the year to return to Australia and should you plan your return around any specific dates. With the majority of Australian expats planning to return to Australia at some point in time we are often asked is there a good and bad time in the calendar year to move home. And the answer is it depends on the country you are moving from rather then the considersations you need to take into account in Australia. In this episode we run through the following topics: • Is there a good and bad time to repatriate to Australia? • How do countries differ when it comes to repatriation time frames? • If I return mid year does the ATO tax me on my overseas earnings before I returned to Australia?

Welcome to the one hundred and eleventh episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we talk about how to qualify to become a non-resident and what is the actual process that Australian expats must follow to notify the ATO. Qualifying to become a non-resident for tax purposes with the ATO isn't as simple as you think. With the current rules dating back to 1936 (when you used to jump on a ship to become a expat) there is some interpretation required which is why the Board of Taxation recommended the Australian government update the residency rules and we should see this play out in the next year or two. We also run through the mechanics of actually notifying the ATO that you are now a non-resident and the crucial steps you need to follow. In this episode we run through the following topics: • How do I become a non-resident for tax purposes with the ATO? • What are the new residency rules and how do they apply to current and future Australian expats? • What is the process of notifying the ATO that I have permanently left Australia and become a non-resident for tax purposes?

Welcome to the one hundred and ninth episode of the #Expatchat podcast and the first one for 2024 where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we talk about the lessons we learned in 2023 and how we can use that in the coming year to our advantage. We also run through some questions that have been posted in our Australian Expat Financial Forum Facebook group which you can join if you are not laready a member in the link below. The 2023 calendar year had it all with worldwide discussions about hard landings, interest rate movements, recessions and the conflict between Israel and Hamas. One of the things it did teach us was that if the above list deterred you from investing or staying invested you would have lost out from some healthy returns in the market as investors looked past this towards a future of reducing interest rates, inflation settling and hopefully a peace deal in the Middle East. In this episode we run through the following topics: • What are some of the takeaways from 2023? • Did investors make money in 2023? • Question time from our members in our Facebook group Links that we discussed in this episode include: • Upcoming Webinars - https://atlaswealth.com/events • Facebook Group - Australian Expat Financial Forum Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/Australianexpatfinancialforum • Ask Atlas - Have your questions answered on the podcast by clicking this link - https://atlaswealth.com/news-media/australian-expat-podcasts/questions-or-feedback-for-the-expat-podcast/ • Expat Mortgage Podcast - https://atlaswealth.com/news-media/australian-expat-podcasts/expat-mortgage-podcast/ If you like the content make sure you let us know by hitting the thumbs up and subscribing as well as providing some feedback in the comments below.

Welcome to the one hundred and seventh episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we talk about when does an Australian expat need to lodge a tax return. There is a lot of conflicting information out there about this topic which causes the confusion amongst expats and the answer is that some Australians do need to lodge tax returns whilst others don't. Typically you are taxed in Australian on what is called Australian sourced income (for example rental income, termination payouts, deferred income from employer shares etc) so if you have earned this type of income you will have to lodge a tax return. In this episode we run through the following topics: • Does an Australian expat need to lodge a tax return? • What qualifies as Australian sourced income? • What if my trading platform or bank does not know I am overseas? • Is a HECS/HELP debt lodgement the same as a tax return?

Welcome to the one hundred and sixth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we revisit the topic of the Main Residence Exemption and the confusion amongst Australian expats that still surrounds the changes that came into play on the 1st of July 2020. With many Australian expats owning property when they leave Australia, especially their former principle place of residence, how this asset is treated when you are a non-resident for tax purposes is completely different to that of an Australian tax resident. The premise behind the Main Residence Exemption is that you can live in a property that you make your principle place of residence, move out of it and rent the property for up to 6 years and should you chose to sell it in that period you do not pay capital gains tax. However should an Australian expat follow this path not only will they pay capital gains tax when they are a non-resident for tax purposes but they will potentially pay it all the way back to the day that they purchased it, not when they left the country. In this episode we run through the following topics: • How does the Main Residence Exemption work? • How do the changes in 2020 affect Australian expats? • Sample scenarios of Australian expats retaining or selling their former principle places of residence.

Welcome to the one hundred and fourth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat.

Many Australians will accrue some form of foreign pension when they live and work overseas, whether it is a 401k, Canadian RRSP, UK pension, End of Service Benefit, Provident Fund and many others. But what can cause confusion is what should you do with them when you are looking to move back to Australia. Do you leave them where they are or should you try and move them home?

Welcome to the one hundred and second episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we talk about why timing can make the difference of thousands, tens of thousands and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars for Australia expats. The nature of an Australian expat means that we are always moving, sometimes staying in one location longer then the other however what this moving means is that in order to optimise your finances you need to ensure that your timing of events is structured in a way that ensures you don't experience any unintended consequences. Australian expats sometimes fail to understand that by timing different actions at different stages when managing your finances can have a drastic affect on your wealth. In this episode we run through the following topics: • Does it make a difference if I sell or redeem an asset in one country or another? • Doesn't the Double Taxation Agreement protect me from advserse tax events? • Why should I ensure that I am planning 6-12 months out before repatriating to Australia?

Welcome to the one hundredth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we talk about the importance of wills and enduring powers of attorneys (EPOA's) for Australian expats. When we move overseas it is quite easy to forget about what would happen to our estates should the worst occur - a death of you or a loved one in the family. However its not until you are experiencing such a troubling time that you wished that these matters were addressed beforehand. Statistically speaking not many Australian residents have wills and the number of expats we meet are even less which is cause for concern. In this episode we run through the following topics: • Do I need to have a will as a Australian expat? • Do I need to have a will in each country that I hold a asset in? • If I am a beneficiary of a will and live overseas how will this be treated?

Welcome to the ninety ninth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we talk about why some expats manage their finances when they move abroad like they are playing monopoly. We saw a funny post on instagram the other day that said: "Imagine playing monopoly and never buying any assets or investments that generate income. Imagine you just went around collecting $200, giving your money to the rich and trying to stay out of jail". After reading this we thought that a lot of Australian expats chose to live their expat life like this, throwing away a great opportunity not only to travel and enjoy a great adventure but also to return to Australia with more money in the bank then when you left. In this episode we run through the following topics: • Why should Australian expats care about their finances? • What they can do to improve their situation? • What are some easy wins to make their time overseas successful financially?

Welcome to the ninety eighth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we talk about when should a Australian expat start planning for retirement. When Australians move overseas quite often their superannuation fund and the mechanisms behind saving for retirement tend to fall by the wayside as they focus on building their wealth using other vehicles. What a lot of people don't realise is that when they are living overseas and they are not contributing at least 10% of their income to superannuation unless they are saving this amount elsewhere they could be financially disadvantaged compared to their colleagues back in Australia. In this episode we run through the following topics: • Do I need superannuation if I am not retiring to Australia? • Can I contribute to my superannuation just before I retire? • What structures should I consider when retiring? • Can I utilise foreign pensions and social security?

Welcome to the ninety seventh episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we talk about what Australian expats need to consider when they are looking to retire overseas and draw upon their superannuation account as a account based pension (ABP). All depending on what country to intend to retire in will depend on whether there will be any local taxes applied to your allocated pension. The Australian superannuation system is unique when you compare it to savings plans and pensions around the world and it is one of the reasons why there maybe confusion overseas on whether it should be taxed or not. In this episode we run through the following topics: • How is super taxed in Australia when you retire? • Can a Double Taxation Agreement (DTA) assist or hinder your retirement income? • Are Australian government employees treated differently compared to other superannuants?

Over 1/3 of the world’s population lives within a 4-hour flight from Dubai. Centrally located between Europe, Asia and Africa, Dubai has become one of the world’s most important trading ports and hubs. With recent UAE Government changes initiatives have been launched to attract the world to come and live in Dubai.

Welcome to the ninety fourth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we talk about the upcoming referendum that is being held in Australia next month and whether an Australian expat can and should vote. According to the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) an Australian expat is eligible to vote as an Overseas Elector as long as they are an Australian citizen over the age of 18 and are intending to return to Australia within the next 6 years. The next question is whether an Australian expat should vote and here we are not referring to them exercising their right to vote but moreso will it cause further complications with respect to their claim of being a non-resident for tax purposes with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Under the current tax residency rules if you were to vote the question of whether you would be classified as a tax resident is very grey and is one of the reasons the proposed tax residency have been recommended. In this episode we run through the following topics:  • Can a Australian expat register to vote? • How does a Australian expat vote? • Where can a Australian expat vote? • Will voting as a Australian expat affect my non-residency status with the ATO?

Welcome to the ninety third episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we talk about what you need to consider when you are leaving Australia and moving overseas to join the expat ranks. According to the Australian population clock one Australian resident is moving overseas permanently to live every 2 minutes and 12 seconds which means that Australians are embracing the expat life after the Coronoa virus halted those movements. Whether you have been working in Australia for 5 years or 15 years you would have accumulated some assets and making that move overseas can complicate your understanding of how to manage those assets due to the different rules you need to consider. There is also a fair bit of housekeeping you need to do before you move overseas but the good news is that not all of this has to be done before you jump on the plane and some of it can be done after you leave. In this episode we run through the following topics:  • What happens to my super when I become an expat? • What should I do with my private health insurance? • What are my tax obligations to the ATO? • Should I remain on the electoral roll in Australia? • Do I keep my Australian drivers license? • Can I use Medicare as a Australian expat? • Do I have to update my address with banks and brokerages? • What is deemed disposal?

Welcome to the ninety second episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we talk about the recent weakness of the Australian dollar, what causing it and where it maybe going in the future. It would be virtually impossible to meet an Australian expat who isn't affected by a currency exchange rate movements and there is a good chance that they would be able to quote you the current exchange rate to their local currency. What the Australian dollar, as well as other currencies, do on the foreign exchange market can determine a wide range of decisions for Australian expats, including whether to move money back to Australia, whether to hold off buying a house and if it maybe a good time to repatriate. So where is the Australian dollar going in the future and what do Australian expats need to keep an eye on to determine what may change its course.

Welcome to the eighty eighth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we talk about the new super changes which are now in effect for the 2024 financial year. These changes impact current contribution amounts and caps, superannuation balances as well as what we can have in account based pension mode. The recent changes allow Australians to get more into their Superannuation funds, which is great news yet indexation was not applied to a lot of contribution types. We also discussed the notion of ‘Use it or lose it’ which applies to the catch up concessional contribution strategy, which has been in place since the 2019 financial year. Lastly, the downsizer contribution eligibility age has now been dropped to 55, which gives expats a greater chance to boosting super before age 60. In this episode we run through the following questions: • What the Transfer Balance Cap (TBC) is? • The changes applying to the TBC and what it means for those last minute contributions. • What the indexation means for the Concessional and Non-Concessional contribution caps? • An example of the catch-up concessional contribution strategy in practice • How the downsizer contribution operates and what the opportunity means for expats, as well as a brief client example.

Welcome to the eighty fourth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today's Expat Chat we talk incorrect assumptions that Australian expats make when managing their property back home. Owning property is a core part of an Australians wealth building strategy however when they move overseas sometimes they will assume that the same rules apply even though they are a non-resident for tax purposes or alternatively they will rely on sources who may not be fully aware of the rules and regulations or that they may have changed in recent years. Since May 2012 the Australian government has made a number of changes to the tax laws as they relate to Australian expats and when it comes to managing your financial affairs even the smallest mistake can cost you a lot of money. In this episode we run through the following topics: • How does the tax treatment work when a property is a mixture of investment and principle place of residence? • When considering selling the property am I better off waiting until I get home? • Client case studies of when things go wrong Links that we discussed in this episode include: • 2023 Australian Federal Budget Seminar in Abu Dhabi - https://atlaswealth.com/news/2023-australian-federal-budget-seminar-in-abu-dhabi/ • 2023 Australian Federal Budget Seminar in Dubai - https://atlaswealth.com/news/2023-australian-federal-budget-seminar-in-dubai/ • Atlas Events - https://atlaswealth.com/events/ • Facebook Group - Don't forget to join our Australian Expat Financial Forum Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/Australianexpatfinancialforum • Ask Atlas - Have your questions answered on the podcast by clicking this link - https://atlaswealth.com/news-media/australian-expat-podcasts/questions-or-feedback-for-the-expat-podcast/ • Expat Mortgage Podcast - https://atlaswealth.com/news-media/australian-expat-podcasts/expat-mortgage-podcast/ If you like the content make sure you let us know by hitting the thumbs up and subscribing as well as providing some feedback in the comments below.

In today's Expat Chat we talk about how does an Australian expat manage their financial affairs when they are unsure if they are definately moving back to Australia and if they are when that maybe. Many Australian expats who move overseas maybe do not have a definite timeframe as to when they will move back to Australia, if at all but this should not step them ensuring they have a properly documented strategy when it comes to managing their finances overseas. Change is a constant in life and when you become an expat the amount of change can be greater then that what is experienced by someone living back in Australia. Many Australian expats can fall into the trap of doing nothing with their money when there is so much uncertainty however this can often lead to analysis paralysis and in turn undesirable financial outcomes.

Welcome to the seventy ninth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today's Expat Chat we talk about whether now is the time for an Australian expat to purchase a property in Australia. With the recent pullback in property we are seeing a lot of property spruikers saying now is the time to buy but is it? The performance of the property market in the earlier part of this year surprised some with the sell off abating and this has been seen by some in the property industry as a sign that the market is turning however we liken it to that great saying of "one swallow doesn't make a winter" just like one month of positive returns doesn't mean the selling is finished. There are still many headwinds in the property market which include rising interest rates, rising inflation and the reset of over 800,000 fixed rate mortgages to variable rate mortgages in the coming months. In this episode we run through the following topics: • When should I purchase a property? • Has the sell off finished or is there more to come? • Does proeprty make sense as a investment strategy for Australian expats?
