Today I spoke to someone in our town that has also decided to emigrate to oz. They said that they thought you had to pay 20% tax on all capital that you took with you after sale of house etc???

Nope, not right at all!
You only have to pay tax on your money once... and the proceeds from your house are yours to buy another house...

I"m sure somebody with more knowledge will contribute soon, but you may be better off posting this on the Australia thread!

You do have to pay capital gains if you have used a house as a business e.g for letting.
