Compliance note.

Leaving Australia or being a foreign resident does not automatically remove Australian tax obligations. The Australian reporting position depends on the client’s residency status, source of income, asset type, property history and applicable Australian tax law. Being a foreign resident does not automatically remove Australian tax obligations. A foreign resident may still need to lodge an Australian tax return where they have Australian-sourced income, taxable Australian property, capital gains or other Australian reporting obligations.
