Sloshyd says: 24 May 2013 at 12:56 So I am an Australian citizen, but a South African Permanent resident. I was not aware that I would need permission to still have my Australian bank account - who do I get that permission from. Then if I am getting paid from Australia and I have to pay tax here, don't I also have to pay tax in Australia, which would mean getting taxed twice? |

TaxTim says: 26 May 2013 at 23:14 Apologies, I didn't know you were an Australian resident. It would depend where you are tax resident, but usually you pay tax on the income earned from services rendered in the country were you worked and can use this as a tax credit in other places if you are taxed twice. As an Australian resident you will still be able to have any bank account wherever you are. |
