Taxation for expats having moved from overseas to Australia is a complex area but also provides some fantastic tax planning opportunities. Omega Partners Accountants in Sydney have dealt with a number of expat issues and can help with yours and for your organisation in ensuring that your expats taxation affairs are managed as effectively as possible.

Areas that we can assist in include :-

Determining whether you are subject to the Medicare Levy and making an application for Medicare Levy exemption if appropriate;

Determining your eligibility for the dependent spouse rebate;

Ensuring that you claim all relevant tax offsets;

Ensuring that the superannuation guarantee is correctly applied and determining whether you are a senior foreign executive. For senior executives the exemption from superannuation guarantee applies. It is important that you are not financially disadvantaged by not receiving the superannuation guarantee and your fellow colleagues who are not senior foreign executives are receiving that benefit.
