Expat Chat Episode 90 - Repatriation Considerations for Australian Expats

Welcome to the ninetieth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we deep dive into consideration in which expats needs to consider when repatriation back to Australia. This might involve the timing of key decisions, like selling assets or transferring assets and tax might play into this too. Some of the broader topics we discussed in todays episode was the repatriation considerations around different types of asset we often accumulate while residing overseas for several years. These might be shares, savings, foreign pensions, and property just to name a few. In this episode we run through the following topics:  • Timing considerations when looking to return back to Australia and how residency is a factor • Deemed acquisition and how it applies to shares and maybe property • The concessions we can access again when back in Australia and what that means for overseas assets • Foreign pensions, are they all the same or do some get treated more favourably by the ATO.
