Jlew Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Working through various options for work when we move. One option is to potentially continue to work for my current employer for a period of time effectively from our new home in Melbourne. The question is really around the tax implications. If the company continued to pay me as normal as if i was in the UK, and i then take care of the money transfer on a monthly basis from the UK to Australia, what would the associated tax implications be? Would i pay tax on the salary in the UK, and then just transfer it across, receive the salary gross in the UK and then pay tax in Australia following transfer, pay tax in both countries (hopefully not!) or something else? I'm sure someone must have done this so just looking for some thoughts / advice please. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been offered the opportunity to do some consultancy and project work when we first arrive which would be great to tide me over whilst getting a new job.

Londongal76 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I think it depends what visa you're on. From what i've read so far, if you're a permanent resident in Aus then income from abroad is taxable as earnings there. You also wouldn't be a british resident so i assume you won't get taxed twice. I don't know for sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londongal76 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 have a look at the Gomatilda website, they have some useful factsheets on tax etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Collett Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 If duties of the employment are undertaken in Australia and not in the UK there should be no tax withheld under UK PAYE. Your employer may though need to set up an Australian payroll and administer PAYG there. In case of need: http://www.gmtax.com.au/contact/ Best regards.
