Australian expats may continue to have tax obligations in Australia while living in Dubai.
Common scenarios when you may have to lodge an Australian tax return include:
- owning an investment property in Australia that generates rental income
- holding investments in Australia that produce income
- having an outstanding HELP debt.
These are three common reasons why Australians living in Dubai may be required to lodge an Australian tax return.
Through our office in Sydney, we assess your situation and advise on your tax obligations and, if required, lodge your Australian tax return to ensure you remain compliant.
WHO WE CAN ASSIST WITH AUSTRALIAN TAX RETURNS
AUSTRALIANS LIVING IN DUBAI
Often Australians living abroad will still need to lodge tax returns to the ATO. This includes those renting Australian property, with outstanding HELP debt, or owning Australian based income producing assets.
AUSTRALIANS RETURNING HOME TO AUSTRALIA
Long-term Australian expats returning home to Australia need to carefully plan their return before becoming an Australian resident again. We can provide personal asset structuring and timing advice.
THOSE WITH ASSETS IN AUSTRALIA
Both Australian citizens, and expats who own income producing assets in Australia, will have ongoing tax obligations. Additional tax obligations can arise when selling these assets. We can explain your obligations and lodge appropriate tax returns.
WE ENSURE YOUR AUSTRALIAN TAX AFFAIRS ARE IN ORDER
Whether you have recently moved to Dubai or have been living here for a while, we can assess your situation, advise of your Australian tax obligations and lodge your Australian tax return where required.
