GREATER TAX CLARITY STARTS WITH THE FACTS

Your Australia tax departure guide

We help you prepare a compliant Australian departure and understand what it takes to become a foreign resident for tax—so you can move toward ending Australian tax on foreign income, with the remaining obligations clearly identified.

Foreign residents generally do not declare foreign income to the ATO. Australian-source income, capital-gains consequences and study-loan reporting may still need attention.

A clearer path to ending your tax residency.

The goal is to understand whether and when your tax residency in Australia can end, and what obligations remain. The answer depends on your circumstances, applicable rules and any treaty. Your plan helps organise the evidence and open questions; a qualified adviser can assess your individual position.

ATO: working out tax residency.

Start with your circumstances.

Use these questions to organise the information an adviser may need. They do not determine your eligibility or tax position.

How will my living and working arrangements change?

Write down your current arrangements, intended changes and the dates involved. Keep a record of assumptions that still need checking.

What should I ask about capital gains and the assets I retain?

List relevant assets, documents and people involved. Bring uncertainties into the open before committing to a decision.

What superannuation and Australian-income questions need checking?

Record the questions that remain unresolved. Check the current official requirements and seek an individual assessment where needed.

Build a useful record of the move.

A clear file helps you explain your circumstances consistently.

Before you move

Record your route, dates, household arrangements and the decisions that cannot wait. Identify documents that take time to obtain.

As plans change

Update your timeline and note what changed. Save the records supporting major decisions, rather than relying on memory later.

When you need advice

Share the relevant facts and your outstanding questions. Confirm the scope of any professional work before commissioning it.
