Accepted a job in Brisbane. Moving from the Southwest US.
Apparently Grace Removals will be shipping our stuff.
We have a kid that’ll be eligible for 1st year in January. Public or private school?
How did the housing market get so bonkers?
Am I going to have to bring extra ketchup through customs for my kid, or is the tomato sauce close enough to make an easy switch?
Appreciate heads up on the superannuation. I understand the company to pay 14% of base pay into super, on top of “normal” pay. I’ll verify though. All the tax stuff as an expat has me spinning. Fortunately we shouldn’t have to worry too much until next year.
Yeah, not sure if you intend to return to the US, or stay in Australia forever, but basically there is trouble with getting Australian Super to the US, or 401k to Australia.
The US-Australia tax treaty basically ignores super/401k etc and it can have big tax implications. Eg, withdrawing from a US 401k as an Australian taxpayer is regarded as taxable income.
Best to get tax advice, as everyone’s situation is different.
