Who are you supposed to inform

Who are you supposed to inform
Who are you supposed to inform, so far as the relevant authorities?, Do I have to tell the Inland revenue or will Oz house tell them? do I have to tell Every official UK gov body? is there a general form which could be used? What about the Dss who tells them, they will need to know because of NI contributions, or do they just find out in due course, thinking about state pensions here I don't want a bill in a few years saying "you did,nt tell us"
Any one who has made the move please tell us how you managed this part of the process, Thanks.

However......somthing that really is worth doing is telling your tax office that you do not intend to return (in this financial year at least).
You will most probably be due a pretty large tax rebate if you ask for it.
Say you only worked for 6 months of the financial year (from april). The IR will have been taxing you assuming that you would be around for the full 12 months. Tax is basically worked out from your final expected salary, and divided by 12.
Work less than 12 months by much and they may owe u money.

Tax man is a must then, what about DSS? do I need to sign anything with them? I thought they would know via NI numbers.
You would think there is a general notice to quit the country form

You sound as if you think we are living in Orwell's imagined world.

On the down side, hubby went back to the UK about 4 years ago (long story) for about 4 months and couldn't claim a single penny of benefits despite having paid into social security for donkeys years before he left.....they just said "tough".
Charming eh?

I think Don is talking about the novel '1984' by George Orwell, where big brother is watching at all times.

Well we are, are,nt we?.
If you travel from Oz, the gov know and inform the dss over there and the tax office, it's all inter-linked from a simple scan of your passport as you check in at the airport.
Seems sensible too.

Makes for a couple of intriguing possibilities, say, 90 days in Thailand, 6 months NZ, 3 months Aus, repeated a few times. Where are you liable to tax if you don't have a regular job?

Good question Don ... tax nomads as we beancounters are wont to call such people.
