What most people miss

  • Residency restarts worldwide taxation from day one

    The date you resume residency is as important as the date you left. From that day your worldwide income is Australian-taxable again, and the cost-base reset window on your foreign-acquired assets closes. Get the reset positions realised first.
  • Keep the evidence brief, reviews arrive years later

    Don’t delete your years-abroad evidence folder the moment you land. A residency review of your non-resident years can surface two to four years after you return. Archive the complete brief.

A registered tax agent

Residency, CGT and departure-year questions are handled by registered tax agents, ideally one who regularly works with departing or non-resident Australians. Check registration on the Tax Practitioners Board register.
