Tax while in Oz
 

My wife and I are just starting the ACS assessment phase of our skilled migration to Australia. We rent a couple of flats out in the UK and want to keep these going as a supplementary income when we move there.

I have seen the thread about capital gains but wanted to ask if anyone new how any income (above interest and costs) from the rented property would be managed? Either in the UK or Oz as an overseas income.

Thanks
Darren

Re: Tax while in Oz
 

Rental income is taxable in both countries. However:

- you will have personal allowances in the UK, to offset against the profit from
renting the properties.

- Yes, the profit on renting the property will be taxable in Australia once you move
there. You won't have to pay tax twice however, as far as I know. I think any UK
tax you have to pay can be offset against Australian tax.

You should consider getting some professional advice on your tax position before
deciding what to do.
