COMMON QUESTIONS

You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.

What exactly is this guide?

It is a plain-English map of the main legal, tax and factual questions involved in leaving Australia and establishing life abroad. It helps you see what needs to be decided, modelled and documented before you commit to the move.

What will I understand after reading it?

You should have a clearer picture of the Australian residency tests, exit tax, your home and structures, the differences between possible destination countries and the evidence your move needs. You can then take a more organised set of facts and questions to your advisers.

Why not just go straight to an adviser?

Most people do and spend the first two hours being taught what residency is and how the exit tax works, at four figures an hour. Roughly $2,000 to learn things that are the same for everybody.

That’s what this is, for $297. You still book the adviser. You just book them for your situation, not the syllabus.

Will this make me a non-resident of Australia?

No. Australia does not issue an automatic exit certificate. Your position depends on what you actually do: where you live, how permanent the move is and what connections you keep in Australia.

Is this legal or tax advice?

No. The guide gives general information and a framework for planning. You still need advice based on your own facts before acting.

Does it tell me which country to move to?

No universal country ranking can answer that. The guide compares 25 countries by the role they may play and explains the catches you need to investigate.

Can I keep my Australian house or company?

Possibly. Keeping them does not automatically stop a move, but the way they are used and managed can affect the tax result and the story your facts tell.

What format do I receive?

You receive private access to the interactive online guide. It includes chapter navigation, search, expandable detail and responsive layouts for desktop, tablet and mobile.

When can I purchase it?

You can purchase it now. Select “Get the guide” to complete payment securely through Stripe. Your private access details will be emailed after payment.

How much will it cost?

The Australian Exit Guide is $297 as a one-time purchase. Your bank handles any currency conversion.
