Leaving Australia? The tax side is bigger than the packing.
Ceasing Australian tax residency triggers real events: a deemed disposal of your portfolio, a cliff under your former home, a deadline on your HECS. These 33 free tools put your numbers on each one, entirely in your browser. No accounts, no email gates, nothing uploaded.
Start from your situation
The traps are different depending on what you own and who’s coming with you. Pick the one that sounds like you. Each page names the trap and lays out the tool path in order.
The Founder
Your company doesn’t automatically move with you, and selling it around departure is the biggest order-of-operations decision you’ll make.

The Crypto Investor
Crypto is non-TAP: leaving is itself a taxing event on your whole stack, unless you plan parcel by parcel.

The Remote Employee
Keeping your Australian job while “moving” is the single most common way to stay an Australian tax resident by accident.

The Property Investor
Your property is TAP. Australia never lets go. The trap isn’t the rent; it’s the main residence exemption cliff and the frozen discount.

The Family
School fees, a spouse’s ties, and “every school holidays back home”. Families fail residency on pattern, not paperwork.

The Retiree
Franking credits, super preservation and an SMSF that can’t leave the country: retirement income is built for residents.

Moving back?
The return date is itself a tax event, and the planning window closes when the plane lands.

How we’re different
Answers with your numbers, not generic advice
Every tool ends in a figure or verdict computed from what you actually entered, “your deemed disposal bill is est. $41,200”, not “CGT may apply”. Enter your income once and it carries into every other tool.
Honest about uncertainty
Residency outcomes are risk classes (Clear non-resident through Clearly resident) never fake percentages. Every estimated figure says “est.”, and figures we haven’t re-verified carry an “indicative” badge instead of quiet confidence.
Every number is dated
Each rate and threshold lives in a dated rules module with official sources, every tool footer shows when it was last verified, and every change lands in the changelog, which flags your stored results stale when the rules move.
