Expat Chat Episode 67 - Superannuation Considerations For Australian Expats

Welcome to the sixty 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 the key considersations an Australian expat must make when managing their superannuation as a expat. Unless you moved overseas just after you graduated high school or university there is a very good chance you have some for of superannuation back in Australia. For some Australian expats they may have multiple superannuation accounts as they have worked for a number of different employers before moving overseas. In fact at the 30th of June 2020 around four million Australians held two or more super accounts. There are a lot of rumours and myths surrounding expats and superannuation and in this episode we want to set the record straight. In this episode we run through the following topics: • What laws apply to superannuation? • Can I be classified as a tax resident if I contribute to my super fund? • What is the difference between a SMSF, industry and retail superannuation account? • Are the rules my super fund stipulate applicable to all superannuation account or just mine? • Can I move my super fund to another provider?
