    Hi there,

    Just wondering what the tax implications are towards a non tax resident of Australia who purchases property well overseas’s and then moves back.

    Is there a way to get the tax benefits such as depreciation and interest of a loan paid back well overseas?

    Is the property taxed at personal rate tax or marginal?
    Advantages of buying property through a trust?

    Thanks for any help.

    A person who becomes a tax resident of Australia will be deemed to have acquired foreign property at it's aud value on the date they reside here. Assuming they become a tax resident. It's wise to get tax advice on all the specific issues particular to their situation rather than generalisations and possibles
