Expat Tax Returns and Residency Reviews

AIMS Australia Tax Accountants assists expatriates, Australians living overseas and individuals moving to or from Australia with Australian tax returns and separately scoped reviews involving tax residency, foreign income, Australian property, capital gains and historical lodgments.

Australian tax residency is fact-specific. A review may require travel dates, accommodation history, family and economic ties, employment arrangements, asset ownership, prior-year tax positions and supporting records. No residency position should be adopted solely by reference to a departure date, visa status, citizenship or the number of days spent in or outside Australia.
