1. Background

On 24 May 2010, Karine Pham, our Newcomers Network Sydney Representative suggested that we host a seminar on Expatriate Tax. This amazing woman has organised Geoff Taylor (one of our advertisers from Majenda Online http://www.majenda.com) to come to Melbourne on 29 July to run the FREE session here. He will cover:

1. What deductions can I claim? e.g. travel, home office, laptop, donations etc.

2. What income is taxable? e.g. is overseas income taxable in Australia?

3. Which countries have Double Tax Agreements with Australia and how do they work?

4. How much tax will I have to pay?

5. Can I get access to my superannuation if I return to my home country? If so, is there any tax payable?

6. Is there any tax on overseas capital transfers?

7. What investments can I buy while I am in Australia?
