The top 10 financial planning tips if you’re moving to Australia
Moving countries and becoming an expat is a significant transition. Often the logistics are so time- consuming that consideration of personal finances becomes secondary to finding a job, somewhere to live, and ensuring your family are comfortable. This is unfortunate because, managed carefully, it can often be financially very beneficial. On the flip side, it is easy to make expensive mistakes.
Australia is one of the most common destinations for expat Brits. It is also common for Australians to become expats in the UK and then return to Australia. For Aussie expats, it is easy to overlook the significant advantages of being an expat in the UK and, again, make costly errors.
These transitions need to navigate two financial systems and often involve assets in both countries. This presents both significant opportunities and the risk of expensive mistakes.
In this guide, we look at ten key issues and give you some key tips to help you utilise some of the opportunities and avoid the mistakes.
We hope this guide gives you an idea of some of the financial issues you need to consider if you’re planning to move to Australia – and also some of the potential pitfalls.
