Hi
My first post here so I will probably be more in depth than needed.
My wife and I have a house and an IP in Canberra, but are looking at moving to NZ (for a few years) next year.
We have a lot of questions that we need answers to but are unsure where to go (short of an accountant).
We are not being transferred for work or anything so we will not be getting paid in any sort of AU$$'s, nor will we have any aussie income except for the IP and our house which will become another IP.
Does anyone know if we will still be eligible for any tax breaks etc on these properties? will we have to pay tax on them in NZ and here?
Also, we will probably be looking at buying a property to live in over there. Is it best to do that before we leave with a loan from here or can we get a loan over there etc?
If anyone has gone through a similar situation as we are contemplating we would love to hear any advice or links to sites that may help.
At the moment our move is only for a few years but who knows how long it may end up being.
I forgot to mention that my wife is NZ national and I am AU national, if that makes any difference in any way.
Thanks for any help.
