when do you start paying Ozzie tax on isa?
If you choose to leave isa in uk when do you start paying ozzie tax on them? Is it when you validate your visa or do they tax for the years you have had them and not had to pay tax? Surely not??

And why on earth would they be interested in taxing you on anything that happened before you came to live here? Your liability for tax on worldwide income only starts once you are a tax resident.

The day you become tax resident is the day you start paying tax here: period.
So the ISA income is taxable, and the valuation of the ISA that day should be requested so that you'll have the privilege of paying capital gains tax on the gain when you sell - and don't forget to take the exchange rate from the ATO website for both dates to convert into $$.
Alternatively, cash up, bring it across and forget about the hassle!

Re: when do you start paying Ozzie tax on isa?
sorry to hijack this thread but can anyone help with something similar.
I have invested some money into a 1 year term deposit (internet account). If we emigrate before that year is up, can i leave the money in the uk without being taxed in oz?
Also, how would oz tax system even know that you have that money
anyway??
I am not clued up on the tax thing between uk and oz. Any link would be very much appreciated.
