Expat Chat Podcast

Welcome to the one hundred and twenty seventh episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat.

In today’s Expat Chat we run through some more questions that have been asked in the Australian Expat Financial Forum Facebook group that we manage.

Social media is a great tool for Australian expats living overseas as not only does it keep us in contact with friends and family back home but it can also be used to research and understand topics that affect you as an expat.

With a plethora of Australian expat Facebook groups it is a common place to ask questions relating to expat life - where can I buy vegemite, what's a good school for my kids and many more.

Many Australian expats will also ask questions relating to their personal financial circumstances and whilst it is great that everyone wants to help and share their opinion quite often there are incorrect answers being provided.

That's why we started the Australian Expat Financial Forum. Its a place that Australian expats can share their expat financial war stories as well as ask questions that we can answer on this podcast.

In this episode we run through the following topics:

• How to setup a will across multiple jurisdictions?

• How to setup for retirement when you don't know which country you will be in?

• Can a Australian expat gift a property and not pay any tax?

• What are the ATO obligations for drawing on a US 401k when residing in Australia?

Welcome to the one hundred and twenty fifth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat.

In today’s Expat Chat we talk about can you rollover your foreign pension and retirement savings into a Australian superannuation account.

When we live and work overseas there is a good chance you will accrue some form of retirement savings.

Some of these savings could include a UK pension, 401k from the US, RRSP from Canada, Provident Fund in Hong Kong, CPF in Singapore, End of Service Benefit in the UAE and many more.

However it isn't always so simple just to take your foreign retirement savings and place it in your super fund.

There are complications on where the funds are coming from, and the local jurisdictional rules, as well as how those funds are categorised when they enter Australia.

In this episode we run through the following topics:

• What is classified as a foreign pension?

• Can I just move my foreign retirement savings into my superannuation?

• What Australian rules apply to those funds entering Australia and my super account?

In today’s Expat Chat we talk about the the proposed changes to the Non Dom and Inheritance Tax rules in the UK and how that may affect Australian expats.

The Non Dom rules have been part of the UK tax system for over 200 years and many Australian expats, as well as other nationalities, have relied upon it to avoid assets held outside of the UK being taxed by the HMRC.

Before Julys election the UK Labour party pledged to address the issue of Non Dom residents and they look like they will be taking this and other topics a lot further.

In this episode we run through the following topics:

• How do the proposed Non Dom changes affect Australian expats?

• Should a Australian expat in the UK reconsider their time in the country?

• What are the proposed changes to the Inheritance Tax rules and how does this affect Australian expats in the UK?

Welcome to the one hundred and twenty third episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat.

In today’s Expat Chat we talk about the news that the Australian government is looking to remove Negative Gearing and how that will affect Australian expats.

We all know (or we should) that Australian expats don't get the ability to negative gear their property when you are classified as a non-resident for tax purposes however with so many owning property back in Australia any changes to the tax laws back home will affect their assets.

With over 1 million Australians relying upon negative gearing concessions to fund the cashflow gap of Australian properties any changes to negative gearing will affect the property market but will it be positive or negative?

In this episode we run through the following topics:

• How does negative gearing work for Australian expats who own property in Australia?

• If Canberra was to remove negative gearing what would it do to the property market?

• How will a change in negative gearing rules affect renters?

Welcome to the one hundred and twenty first episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat.

In today’s Expat Chat we debate whether Australian expats can use ChatGPT and AI to obtain tax and financial advice.

With more tools available to Australian expats today then ever before many aussies are using online tools like ChatGPT and AI to undertake their research when either considering becoming an expat or how to make the most of their time when they are living overseas.

However with most large language model tools like ChatGPT the information you get out is only a good as the information you put in.

If you phrase a question incorrectly or don't know the question to ask ChatGPT does not have the cognitive ability to make you aware of a situation because you didn't know to ask it.

• Can a Australian expat use ChatGPT to make financial decisions?

• What can I use ChatGPT for?

Welcome to the one hundred and eighteenth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat.

In today’s Expat Chat we talk about why Australian expats need to respond to the banks in Australia when they ask for identification.

Many Australian banks are emailing their customers, including Australian expats overseas, asking for them to verify themselves by providing documents to verify their identity.

Unfortunately in today's age where cyber crime is rife people are chosing to ignore these emails or alternatively don't believe they have to provide these documents which unfortunately leads to their account being locked.

A raft of legislation has been passed by governments around the world that now makes it a legal requirement for banks and financial services companies to request this information in order to combat money laundering and terrorism financing.

In this episode we run through the following topics:

• Why do they want these documents?

• What is the common reporting standard (CRS)?

• How do I ensure the request is legitimite?
