Ok, here is the deal. I am hearing horror stories about Taxes on U.S. citizens working in Australia and being paid in AUS. I will be paid roughly $175,000 AUS a year. Any tax experts out there? Questions; Does Australia make a grab for my other US income (US rental properties, investment income and dividends, capital gains, what about from tax-free munis)? If my employer provides me with housing do I have to pay taxes on that, too? Do my IRA tax shelters still help? Moderator: Please tell your employer that I have a CPA, a CIA, a CISA, a CDP, a CCP, and a CSP all by examination - passing all parts on the first attempt except CPA (all four on second attempt) and I will work in Australia for less than $10,000 USD per year because I am on Social Security Disability. All they have to do is get my wife (a Ph.D. with 6 years experience as an Certified Internal Auditor) a permanent job in OZ - preferably Canberra.
If you think I am groveling, you are correct. I really want to move to OZ if my wife cannot get a job in the Promised Land of North Carolina.
