Compliance note.

Residency and expat tax positions are fact-dependent. AIMS Australia Tax Accountants does not determine residency based only on the number of days spent in or outside Australia. The relevant facts, records, chronology and applicable law must be reviewed before a position is adopted. Foreign resident capital gains withholding is not necessarily the final Australian CGT liability. The final position depends on the actual capital gain or loss, cost base evidence, ownership history, residency position and applicable Australian tax law
