Expatriate tax ebook - Australia
Tax planning opportunities
Certain benefits in kind are concessionally-taxed for fringe benefit tax purposes such as motor vehicles, benefits that would be ‘otherwise deductible’, and allowances for accommodation and food where the recipient is living away from their usual place of residence.
Planning involving contributions to complying Australian superannuation plans can also be attractive. Contributions of tax paid capital into a superannuation fund can provide significant advantages for persons migrating to Australia.
