@@Brian1952fulFar less freedoms and getting worse all the time. If you are one of the (now) minority of Australians that has a real life and actually does real things, you will notice the inner-city lifeless are only too keen to see our freedoms given away.
I know right it's soooo much better now , we've come so far on human right and equality and cracking down on companies not paying correct wages also known as stealing wages from employees. The neo liberals are being called out on their bullshit economic ideas too now , no more socialising the losses and privatising the profits.
I'm an Aussie married a Dutchie , lived in the Netherlands for 9 years came back for 3 years 2019 -2022 WTF !!! happened to my beautiful Australia. Every second guy and girl is called Karen rules rules rules debt debt debt.
Well the spear chuckers that wear suits had a yes no revolt and lost and are now pushing though any law you pay them to push while they are still in a place of power. This agenda along with the free palistine one are the same movement pushed by bad actors from the Wef swab n Co foundation.
What a load of bullshit. Poo ! I bet you,ve got a tonne of investment properties or a ceo in the corporate world or acar insurance mob. This all started with fuking Howard so fuk off mate - wanker.
Mine too even if i have to paddle a kayak. Im going to Bhutan maybe. Somewhere people still care instead of trampling on you like your at a Travis Scott concert.
Hi Mac , I heard Katy Gallagher ( in Parliament ) recently mention CBDC's starting 1st December ' 24 in Australia ( here comes Servitude ) , cheers ( Aussie ) Phil .
I was refused an exemption to leave Australian back to the UK to see my mother who was riddled with cancer, in hospital and in her last moments on this planet. Luckily they opened the borders shortly after my refusal. Luckily I got to see her for two weeks before she died. From that point on I decided I cannot stay in this type of country with a mind set like 1940s Germany, so I have since relocated back to the UK-London where I wake up each day with a big smile of my face knowing I escaped! I also actually of thinking of denouncing my Australian citizenship because of mine and other peoples experiences. New migrants beware, Australia is sold a paradise, but under the surface it’s the opposite. I also find it funny how the Australian government is so critical of China and the policies they impose, when they are doing the exact same things to there own citizens.
Australians have always been treated like crap by the government, white or indigenous, but whites much better than the indigenous. It was after all only settled (or stolen) to dump the excess petty criminals from England and exploit the land for its wealth. The care factor here has always been zilch and nothing much has changed.
I'm Australian, been in business 40 years, you are 100% correct about living under a cloud of giant, intrusive bureaucratic henchmen. We have so much compliance at every level of government.
Australia is a great place to live if you never want to get ahead or own anything. Just be able lower your standard of living and the welfare system can provide for your needs. If the ATO wasn’t a government organization they would be a criminal enterprise. If you work and try to accumulate anything you are taxed on your tax eg..GST, goods and services tax on top of income tax on top of luxury tax on top of petrol business tax. Not to mention every place you want to go has a tolls that all link up and have per kilometer rates. It’s the equivalent to a modern day slavery.
after growing up in the 70s in Sydney it was the best country in the world but now it's a joke how bad is it? we make nothing tax everyone and everything multiple times and wonder why things are going bad.
The ATO isn't a legal entity, but the Australian Government justify it's existence due to the Tax Act. You are correct it technically is a criminal enterprise, and in fact the Australian Government is corporation masquerading as government. There is no line of Authority being God-Monarch- Commonwealth and the Australian Government's Crown is a St Edwards Vatican Crown not the 1901 Imperial Crown of the Commonwealth of Australia. The pretend monarch is a company named "Elizabeth 2" or now Charles 3.. Smoke and Mirrors and Freemasons
I remember an acquaintance saying to me in the 1970s, do you realise that we are living in the best times now, quality of life is all going down from here onwards, that has proven to be true. Australia the lucky country, yes for the uber rich and those well off with multiple investment properties, not so lucky for the rest of us, and in the last few years the situation is getting much worse, at this rate I just wonder how bad is it going to get! 😞
Australia used to be a great place, cost of living was so ,low, wages were good, houses were cheap compared to wages. The country is now completely broken.
Oh so you don't like the mines now 😂😂 mate this is what all you fucken older generation then millennials wanted. Enjoy globalism. They sold out car factory's, they sold our food factory's, they sold our land, they sold our natural resources, they leased half our docks. And everyone is bowing down to the globalist company's taking our government for a run by raising our dollar. And when I say our government I mean the civilians that own the government.
I hate this place, Australia is only a land of opportunity for a very exclusive and select few, our unemployment and poverty statistics are not correct.
Bullshit !!! You are a lazy cant but at the same time you want to live the high life !!! You think people get rich by sitting on their asses smoking dope the whole day....
As an Australian the way I see things is that we are as a Country being fleeced at an alarming rate, the Corporate world pays very little to no tax while the wage earner along with Small Business carries our Country on our backs. This leads to resentment in the general community, along with constant division from very poor Governance. We are being controlled from Brussels
The Australia First institute revealed that she'll, Exon and chevron exploit gas for free pay no government taxes or royalties then sell it overseas and back to us at inflatable prices!
From Brussels ? And here is why your country fell, because you are clueless as to what is actually going on. Keep hopping along Skippy and Brussels might just leave you alone. Brussels ha ha ha ha oh man there's no hope is there.
dont get me started, i used to be proud to call myself an aussie but now im disgusted and still cant believe how many sheep there are that blindly follow outrages bullshit claims and "facts"
I am moving to Europe (non EU country) to be with my future Mrs. I am going to get married there, start up a Company and apply for residency asap. Hell if this shithole of a country is going to get any money I make overseas, especially once I leave this dump of a place. They can go get knackered.
i know man, i fucking hate this country so much, i wanna leave so badly, its a fucking shit hole, i feel so imprisoned here, it just got worse with the covid scam
8 months after you wrote this, I’m reading this due to wanting to leave. Never thought I’d say that about the country I love, but it’s becoming unliveable.
Clive James, the late Australian humorist long-resident-in-the-UK, famously said " ‘The problem with Australians is not that so many of them are descended from convicts but that so many are descended from prison officers.’
The ATO was found to be a non legal entity back in 2001 in the High Court of Australia. The ATO is owned by Black Rock , Bank of America and other American financial corporations through the Fed. We pulled the paperwork backing this all uop from the Australian Securities Investments Commission register of company names back about a year ago. Australia like the United States is dictated to by an intergovernmental committee based in Rome since for America 1962 and Australia 1973. The whole system of taxation in both countries is a scam orchestrated by the Fed as far back as 1913 when Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Bank Act .
Australia peaked in 2000... We became a destination after the Olympics and started moving from low to high density living mostly from China and India. These communities operate "cash" economies avoiding tax....
I’m in Melbourne Victoria Australia too. Dan Andrews has destroyed our city and I’m looking at alternatives. We have literally gone from being the best place to live to one of the worst in the western world and it’s getting worse!!!
Country Victoria is much better, still same rules but my harder to police and growing career opportunities. Melbourne really peaked in 2019 unfortunately and it's sad to walk around Melbourne CBD now.
As an Australian, I’m shocked how many aussies are here defending the ATO in these comments. Crazy, really enforces that nanny state mentality you were talking about. Think I’ll take your advice on going to Thailand. All my income now is from dividends and capital gains, so if Im understanding correctly, Thailand wouldn’t touch that income as long as it’s not remitted, and the ATO should also leave me alone
Been in Thailand for 8 years, no tax from fully franked dividends as the tax is already taken out by the company paying you the dividend. Any money you have in you bank is taxed at 10% on the interest you earn, e.g. $1,000 - $100 and the bank takes that out, providing you tell them your going overseas and will become a foreign or non resident. Watch out for the new laws coming out (nothing concrete yet), but I heard that you would have to be out of the country for 3 years to be considered a non resident for tax purposes and in country for 45 days to be a resident for tax purposes, more than likely if it does come into effect, it will be around 1 July 2024. Edit: Also no Capital Gains Tax on the sale of shares. But don't hold property whatever you do.
@@confucius247 Good Tips, sounds like you are spot on. I dont own a home in Australia. I've amended my plan, likely wont go to Thailand due to the hazy foreign tax laws. Non Dom Uk Taxation would likely be better, and Australians under 35 are eligible for a 3 year youth mobility visa. Seems like a good path to take, ill make sure im out before the start of the next tax year
Australians are the quintessential product of the stamford prison experiment 2.0 / stockholm syndrome with tall poppy syndrome due to inheriting island bubble mentality! They love to shoot anyone wanting to better their lives or who are on a trajectory to success.
As an Australian citizen, i can confirm that the government doesn’t give two sh*ts about you or your circumstance, just as long as they can make money then they don’t care what happens to you.
@@bfnew4440 not in my case, I’ve been homeless for 8 months now living off the land, all because they won’t help me out with jobseeker when I need it. 10 years of continuous work, paying taxes and this is what I get when I struggle, just a soccer mum at a desk telling me I’m ineligible for support.
@@Trae_allen sorry to hear that. Things wouldn't exactly be better elsewhere though, especially not in the countries that the guy in the video is commending for their tax regulations. It's obviously bad that the system isn't working for you and your situation is unfortunately really common globally, moreso than in Australia. There are only a handful of little rich European countries that are better about social safety netting than Australia, and they also have tight and staunch tax regulations. It comes with the territory and no system will be perfect
Born and raised in Australia and the past 10years has felt like a prison sentence. This country is owned and run by big cooperations that invest in our highly inflated housing market and constantly raise our cost of living. Negitive gearing HASTO BE ABOLISHED! The quality of life in Australia is gone and everybody is depressed and or ignorent or both we now have a country of nasty picky, selfish people. That is what happens when people are pushed to their limits.
Australia.. a great place to live when i was born 1962. Late 80's a great place to visit. 2000+... a great place to get out of. As i have done 12 years ago.
Our quality of life is quickly going down the toilet. Cost of living and housing are through the roof. Homelessness in the full time employed and working families is rampant and rising.
It’s farked! I have a few friends who are homeless, work full time were good tenants living in the same house for years then owner decided to sell up, left them high and dry, can’t find a rental so forced to move in with friends. I mean yeah technically not homeless in the sense of not living under a bridge but when you are living in one room full of your unopened boxes and no shed or yard space to do what you need to do for work is hardly having a home. Also iv seen doctors living permanently in caravans in parks because there’s no suitable housing. The world has gone mad. They taught us in school if you work hard enough you can get whatever you want, but the harder you work the more they tax you. Better off being poor and getting hand outs.
The ato owed me $30,000. Because of a mistake they made. I had to pay a tax lawyer to prove them wrong and it took me 2 years to get it back. An apology was not even considered. They are a law to themselves. Karma isn't a bitch. It's an employee of the ATO !!! Great video. Balanced and fair. And also 100% true .
I'm a born & bred Australian & had the chance to stay in the UK when I was young, I am so sorry I didn't take the opportunity. For a long time now the really rich Chinese have been putting our housing prices through the roof for years & getting away with huge tax advoidence. Australia is extremely racist towards the UK & European nationalities that got this nation off the ground. Asians, Africans & Arabs can walk through our door but if your European or from the UK it's expensive too vertically impossible. So is the Australian government racist towards the white European offspring of our founding fathers yes. Our government is also trying to change our constitution without telling us how & what changes will be made. They are doing what Canada is doing & trying to take away a lot of our rights to information on social media & mainstream news so we will be limited to what we can view. Anything classed as misinformation will be removed & banned, the only ones exempt from these new laws will be of course the state & federal governments they can of course dish out anything whether it's true or not. Australia & Canada were the two twin nations in the world that were considered the best to live in. People used to dream of being born into these two cultures. Unfortunately we have stood back for too long & just letting them take our rights, we don't even celebrate Christmas like we used to in case we offend another religion even though it is them coming to our culture & not the opposite way around. Our ancestors fort & died for our freedom now we are left wondering why. Every piece of land with any value is being handed back to the aboriginals that just leave it to sit & rot or lease it back to us for ridiculous amounts of money. They continue to blame past history for their on going problems & will take no responsibility for their own lives & mistakes. Apparently putting money in their pockets that they spend on drink will fix their drinking problems & when we give them free or cheap housing & destroy it we should fix it, the whites have the the same problems but apparently we only have ourselves to blame & ourselves to fix it Yes what a great place Australia was once but no longer. But take note people Australia & Canada are trial nations for the introduction of the world Government so don't run to far because other nations are closely following behind. You see, if you don't know where to look you only see the faults in other nations while your governments are busy hiding your faults from you.🇦🇺🐨😢😡
Ive lived in australia for the past 15 years and i can back everything michael is saying. Nanny state, highly controlled. Very weird to be there during the hight of covid....
I remember when I was in school, I thought about going to Australia - now I am convinced it is one of the most awful places a person could live; they really showed their @ss during COVID, and this information about their taxing authorities is gas on that fire.
@@doodlegassum6959 despite higher taxes, Australia has the third highest wealth per capita of all countries in the world. The US for example is trailing behind just about all of the developed world in that statistic. So the average Australian may be taxed more than the average American, but they end out with more money than the average American anyway
The Australian government (liberal or labour) are career politicians, they serve themselves and not Australians. Since 2000 australia has gone downhill. You cannot get ahead, the politicians let foreigners and investors buy all residential property for speculation or for Airbnb . Residential house are for living in, not for investment speculation. I have lived her all my life and I feel the only way to get ahead is to leave my homeland and move overseas to permanently live. Very sad the the government has caused so much homelessness and corruption in the housing market. There are not enough houses to live in and the government is all talk and no action, they will just keep burning australia until all its soul is lost. The labour/liberal government is lazy. It’s disgusting that australia is the most unaffordable country in the world. Australia has no soul and is broken
Think of all the revolutions throughout Irish history. In the 19th century many Irish men, women and children were exiled from Ireland to the US and Australia. Many orphans from the famine as well. Australia was an open-air prison. It still is....
Arrived by plane legally in the early 80s - great country Australia then, but now 2024, it’s changed so much that it’s no longer a great country with poor governance and no accountability. Worked hard, saved hard and paid taxes - for what? Look at what’s happening in Europe with DEI, wokeness, illegal immigrants - sad and worrying times ahead in Australia.
After seeing how they handled the "pandemic"; I can't imagine why they haven't gutted their government. It looked like an authoritarian police state. It's. a shame as it is a beautiful and interesting country.
The govt flew in foreign cops as part of the "Strong Cities" program (these were the ones in riot gear only identifiable by a black number on red patch who also used armoured vehicles against unarmed citizens). The govt has a monopoly on violence and when it suits them they ignore the laws as nothing can be done against them for doing so. Also note that under Dictator Dan's omnibus bill, the definition of "detained" has been changed permanently to remove being "charged" or "sentenced", thus allowing someone to be permanently detained without any charge or sentence - i.e. a political prisoner, without any right of appeal. The same omnibus bill also changed the law to permit anyone to be "detained" for "public health & safety" purposes without charge or sentence. This means the govt can cart you away for any reason they like. The same omnibus bill changed the law to also permit the govt to force anyone to undergo any medical procedure they deem is required for "public health & safety". His "permanent powers" bill changed the law to let him declare a state of emergency if he felt there was or could be an emergency of any type anywhere in the world, and that the emergency period would be indefinite subject to him confirming to himself and his cronies every month that there was an emergency. How long until he uses "climate" as the excuse to lock everyone down? Many in Australia believe the elections (not all but key electorates) are rigged - the seat of Mulgrave (Dictator Dan's seat) had a clear win for the independent but because a letter from the VEC (Victorian Electoral Commission) instructed vote counters to only care about "Labor & Liberal" votes (which of the two was the higher preference over the other), the Dictator won. When the independent tried to get a recount he was told "there's no need, the correct person won". Combine this with the fact that there was election rigging (electoral fraud) by means of the existence of fraudulent parties "Sack Dan Andrews Party" - fraud because this party was the opposite of what it claimed to be and also because it was 100% funded and run by another party (Labor). What did the VEC do? Absolutely nothing because they're 100% crooked and run by Dictator Dan and one of his ministers. The reality of elections is "selected, not elected", and no it has nothing to do with the stupid preference system as shown by the commission only caring about two-candidate preferred. Also there is footage from the NSW election going around the internet where an electoral official puts boxes of votes in a private vehicle and says that they're rigging the election. Oh and FYI, only the govt is supposed to make laws according to the Constitution yet "National Cabinet" which was created during the plandemic has 100% usurped the Federal Government as the Prime Minister lets National Cabinet exclusively make laws. There is no legitimate govt as long as National Cabinet exists.
Australia has turned into the penal colony it was originally meant to be. I can’t say I am much better being stuck in the United Socialist States of America 😂
Seriously why don't you buy a small home in a state that isn't expensive, you can buy homes for 30,000 why would you want to live in Australia Sincerely a Australian
Not giving up my home Australia with out a fight to the end . So by all means run away . Our ancestors fought for freedom from corporations, now its our turn. This has happened all over the world, not just Australia.
I agree I'm a kiwi and auzzy has always been the place to go in terms of better living in general but as it sits with country's are as bad as each other at this point.
Not to mention The Queensland Government introduced a new Bill to establish coercive control as a standalone offence by the end of 2023. Up to seven years jail, and the government wants that mandated to 12 years max... Coercive control laws... Let that sink in Aussie men.....
Michael I so impressed that you can talk freely about this subject. I am amazed your chanell has been closed yet. Godbless . Australia s for the rich .I worked in financial planning accumulated properties .when the 2008 came no one seen this I lost farm worth $5500 three other properties. I have worked for forty years have nothing to show for. If I can give one piece of advice Have one home , one car pay its off be debt free. Be happy all greed .Allow people to bring money and pour into the property market. Today the average people cannot nit even own piece of land . Where had Australia gone wrong it's it turned out like Hong Kong. High rise everywhere. In the last 15 years units were built it's all mould linking building so poorly build. Because the builder were signing of the properties. Conflict of interest. Don't get me wrong Australia is a beautiful country, but became too expensive too live. I worry what's the next generation going to do. Creating a society off helpless. Depression drugs etc. My heart goes out when I go and feed the homeless all over Sydney listening to there stories. Makes you cry😂😂😂❤❤
ATO, is NOT an "Australian Government" department. Its a private agency. THAT has been disclosed in High Court cases. You can make your own conclusions about WHAT ATO is and WHO owns ATO.
Jesus christ all this tax bullshit. I think at that point it's just best to live out in the bushes and greet them with an arrow in case to dare to go find you.
I came from UK to Australia just before pandemic and worked 6 months. I had permanent visa, but I returned back to UK. I really didn't like it Lack of culture, style, boring, old fashioned, backwards , poor quality, low tech, bad cars and roads , no motorways, too far to anywhere, empty streets and beaches, sharks , spiders, too hot , boring and depressed people, mental health issues, reduced standards compared to UK, uneducated annoying people who thought Australia was the best in the world, poor online services, I had to drive car to a registration office and file complaint on rude assistant. It's a police state as well just like USA , poor quality restaurants, couldn't find decent Indian or Thai On top of that their immigration system is a complete scam, I wish I didn't waste so much ££ on that BS I think it's a good place to visit for holidays but not to live there
Imagine the Corporations paying the same percentages that the majority individuals pay. Then Corporations would leave the country. Do you know Taxes pay for infrastructure removal, like old powerstations, buisness is never responsible for anything.
I get tired of hearing Australians say how great this place is.....a government that taxes people through the roof.....constantly introducing more laws......cost of living constantly increasing......housing prices high.......homelessness increasing.....list goes on.
So essentially what your saying is that you want all the benifits of a social safety net and universal health care that provides low cost support to everyone including you but you don't want to pay for it.. you just want everyone else to pay for it
Health care in Australia is absolute garbage Doctors quality leaves much to be desired, and even dangerous, lots and lots of negligence cases. I know, been here for 18 years, and GPs are what I call government reporters, instead of looking at you when you describe symptoms, they keep typing on the computer as you talk. They follow step by step guidelines given by the all mighty government. These are no doctors.
no matter what youtube channel of a certain country join into you can witness that everyone complains about there own country. it’ll never be perfect thats for sure and it never was
Spot on mate. This country is the most governed, draconian law, heavily taxed place. Its a place where working is all a person can do because a house and cost of living is insane.
I am Australian and you are right we are under attack here financially, we are such a nanny state and are taxed big time, I would love to leave and go somewhere it’s not so draconian and the laws are not so strict….as a business owner we get slammed with business tax, BAS then income tax - it sucks
Can't you open a trust and claim business expenses on many things? I don't think it's that bleak if you are clever following the rule of law to your benefit. Maybe do more research
We’re going back to our penal colony roots ? Why do people with no clue about what it’s like to live here keep complaining about what things may or may not have been like in the f***ing 1800s ? If you need to flash back that far back to form the basis of an argument, then perhaps you should hold off on your criticisms of contemporary life here. Taxation rules here may be complex but that is to avoid being ripped off by people who consider it a challenge to pay as little tax as possible. And it’s not like we’re mean and nasty with our tax revenues. Last financial year, sixty percent of all taxation revenue went towards welfare and around half of that went to support aged pensioners. Maybe many of these tax avoiders would prefer to live in countries with a more laissez faire approach to taxation such as Venezuela, Angola or Liberia. You could quite happily spend your days hiding under your bed smug in the knowledge you’re no longer contributing to the Australian way of life.
Australia is terrible. Convict master slave relationship courses through everything. People roll over to nanny state measures in all aspects especially in Victoria.
The convict based foundations of Australia are rotten. Personal freedom is not a valued trait or value in Australia which is why those living within the open air prison are oblivious. Simply, they have no conception of what living free truly is, when their whole life has been socially conditioned in subservience to the state.
I left years ago. Australia has changed it is not the country I grew up in and loved. Over bearing government, high taxation but worst of all is the politicians allowing in low class people with beliefs that are inconsistent with the good old Aussie spirit. The Buddhists and Hindus seem to get along with the Christians and Jews...but not the lot from Sandland. I chose Thailand. I like the hot weather and the folks here are easy going. I will die here.
I lived in Australia late 80's very early 90's, their tax rates are high. The ATO is a nightmare, they are like debt collectors, from what i heard locally. I have never been back only in Sydney for 2 days about 15 years ago. I would never live there for tax reasons. Earning and paying high taxes was not my cup of tea.
I remember dealing with the ATO when they believed Apple was a Windows program, they are not the sharpest tools in the shed. A good accountant is worth they weight in tax refunds. Penal colony mentality never died, it’s aspirational for many politicians.
I was born here and I live here and I can tell you all the price of living is through the roof when a packet of cigarettes cost $50. The price of houses has jumped up to $1 million. We are probably the most taxed country in the world, the living cost is a joke and the government seem to always give themselves pay rises or not caring for the people who live here . foreign investment in our housing market is a disgrace pushing home prices and even rent through the roof on average $700 a week for rent . Food prices are way through the roof as well being your mate even your every day needs a bottle of milk close to 5 dollars .
Problems? Where to live in the world that you will feel at home. Wherever you go, you take yourself and the way you think. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he! You are not your past, nor anyone else's. If you misidentify with beliefs and concepts, they will keep you bound. Freedom and so-called happiness are not something that you seek, they are what you already are. Conditioning by the systems of the world is what entrap you. Know Self, forget about every-thing else. Peace.
You cant just forget about it. It is not right and its not only me im worried about what about everyone else living in this reality. What do you want me to do go down the holy river and do yoga and pray , say im holy man and just ignore it. Shit maybe only oxygen will keep me alive or arnt i suppose to worry about breathing either. Just see if theres peace when i drop dead. Idiot.
Hey mate, I’m doing amazing in Australia❤ I love paying taxes here Australia’s healthcare system is the best and has amazing Drs and Nurses compared to where I was born. It’s not just the healthcare system there are so many good things about Australia. At the moment what I don't like is the high price of owning a house which is happening all around the world. “I’m talking about comfortable house and their standard houses”
Thanks for the info but just saying I'm not OCD but who built the stairs in the place you did this video? There's some major gaps that don't look like expansion joint's? Anyway thanks for the update been milked since I started working 😅
I tried really hard to like Australia by spending 2 months this winter, but I really don't understand the interest of living when you can live anywhere around the world and have a way better culture and architecture to appreciate.
Plus your house will cost you over a million $ if you are lucky. Unless you move out into the middle of nowhere and commute for 3-4 hours a day and the roads are 💩. Awesome deal.
I have lived in Australia all my life, and would advise anyone considering moving here FORGET IT, it is possibly the worst place in the world to live, reasons, RULES,RULES AND RULES, SHOCKINGLY BAD PLACE STAY AWAY.
Nonsense, no Australian residents are leaving Australia because of any 'draconian' Australian tax laws. There are two things guaranteed in life, taxes and death. The thing that makes taxes in Australia 'difficult' for some is the Australian Tax office and the Australian Government are continually eliminating methods of avoiding the taxes that we all know must be paid.
well I for one as a born in 47 , national service 2 year nacho, did leave australia in 2012 because of the tax and the costs, now live in thailand on a farm and I have never been better off at 77 living in thailand ! so now you have at least one
and the CSA is very corrupt to, any appeal will only cost you more and the caring parent will get their family benefit reduced if they refuse CSA intervention. The government thinks the people are their servants.
If you don't want to pay our taxes we don't want you here. He didn't make much sense - he didn't even mention double tax agreements and he didn't explain the 45 day rule. The benefits of Australia are beyond his scope of understanding. You can ask for a ruling at anytime, there is no need to go to court. He's not a team player, he's a shill. I'd like to see how much he earns for such sh*t advice
4:09 So, basically you are punished involuntary for your hard earned success? I think that's fucked up & it's been happening here in the United States too.
I moved to Japan and after 3 years of extremely low income Im heading back to Aus.. even after tax and huge rental your still getting ok wages and some family support.. in Japan you get NOTHING. things aren't that much cheaper (mest is twice price of aus) but wages here are less than what a 13 year old gets at Maccas..alot of people in debt here just si they can have there iPhone and latest Black Toyota Van..there all like sheep here....
Australia was literally the Worst country to be in during Convid, with the exception perhaps of China. And Canada wasn't far behind. Greetings from a Canadian who now lives in Mexico 👋
I have just left London as it is dirty . Sadiq Khan (mayor) has made all London into 20 mph zone. Cameras everywhere. London is now a Muslim city. I have moved to Toowoomba with a bit of capital and now v frightened what ATO might do to me.
People don't want to fund the bank accounts of criminal politicians and their families and friends, nor have the bastards just squander, the stollen "tax" money, on frivolous expenses, get a fucking brain.
Dubai dont pay taxes. it come from Australian natural resouces .right niw it being tajen.by big coroporation dont dont taxes .should.make big.coropation pay their shares if taxes @@ashdog236
Every year, more and more countries that you have been recommending to your clients for many years are becoming tax hells. Do your clients love displacing their families every five years to chase the next low-tax but poor country? Guess which country has always been very liberal and conservative, has always had lax tax laws in the past few decades and has not only prospered far beyond other countries, but also offers one of the highest standards of living on the planet, had very lax rules during covid (because politicians don't have the last say - the population does), and will continue to have lax tax laws and continue to prosper much more than the rest of the world and would probably have been the better, albeit not the "cheapest" recommendation for the majority of your family oriented clients all along. Just wait another 10 years and there will be only 2 or 3 countries left to recommend, of which one will be the decision to spend the rest of your life in what boils down to a continuously heated and humidified shopping center with a dictator at its helm and no social systems to mention, and one that has true democracy and almost unparalleled quality of life. Your job seems to become easier every year as more countries become tax hells. 😉😂
The ATO is not that bright, they chased a friend of mine years ago for over two years with same investigator. My mate was in a cash business and the same guy followed him around to four different locations over two year period. This guy pretended to be a half wit, telling my friend his father had the same business years ago. Asking him thousands of questions. One night my friend was moved to a different location, just around the corner just sitting in the dark and he watched this ATO guy walking from another business owner. They locked eyes and the ATO guy the word F#ck. He knew his cover was blown but the funny thing is why my mate knew over two years earlier and warned other business owners, who he was. But other owners of businesses did cash jobs. The worst thing about the ATO is even if you are right and you take them to court and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, they can back date kaw changes so they win. An accountant told me just pay them what they want. There was a well-known criminal and Melbourne they were chasing for money and he met them in a restaurant open a suitcase with I don't know know how many hundreds of thousands of dollars and he said this is all you getting. They took it and close the case against him.
The ATO? Are they not privately owned by the ROTHCILD'S ? Not even a legit government? Makes sense as to why the situation is so dier if this is the case! As a kiwi from NZ its seriously not much different here but waaaaay less money to go around.
I haven’t lived in Australia since 2010. It pains me to say this, but it’s turned into an expensive authoritarian Nanny State so I won’t be coming back.
Oh yeah great I remember paying "provisional" tax back in the late 80's at the age of 16 because I had a couple of thousand in the bank and a small term deposit. Good times.
I think the ATO are pissed off because 50 thousand Aussies claimed fake GST refunds, averaging arond $30,000 each refund. Over billions of dollars were refunded. 🤪
Australia was a penal colony, but its generations and people still carries the masters/slaves mindset . Sheeps are obedient on the draconian system while the wolves keep carrying out the white collar crimes
Australia has changed a LOT over the last 2 decades,it’s definitely not what it used to be. I’m glad I was a teenager in the 80s and an adult in the 90s because that’s when Australia was Australia-not this bs it is today.

I was refused an exemption to leave Australian back to the UK to see my mother who was riddled with cancer, in hospital and in her last moments on this planet.
Luckily they opened the borders shortly after my refusal. Luckily I got to see her for two weeks before she died.
From that point on I decided I cannot stay in this type of country with a mind set like 1940s Germany, so I have since relocated back to the UK-London where I wake up each day with a big smile of my face knowing I escaped!
I also actually of thinking of denouncing my Australian citizenship because of mine and other peoples experiences.
New migrants beware, Australia is sold a paradise, but under the surface it’s the opposite.
I also find it funny how the Australian government is so critical of China and the policies they impose, when they are doing the exact same things to there own citizens.
They are much worse than china, or any where else in the world. This is a worse place on the world to live.
Australians have always been treated like crap by the government, white or indigenous, but whites much better than the indigenous. It was after all only settled (or stolen) to dump the excess petty criminals from England and exploit the land for its wealth. The care factor here has always been zilch and nothing much has changed.

Australia is a great place to live if you never want to get ahead or own anything. Just be able lower your standard of living and the welfare system can provide for your needs.
If the ATO wasn’t a government organization they would be a criminal enterprise. If you work and try to accumulate anything you are taxed on your tax eg..GST, goods and services tax on top of income tax on top of luxury tax on top of petrol business tax. Not to mention every place you want to go has a tolls that all link up and have per kilometer rates. It’s the equivalent to a modern day slavery.
What a heap of selfish crap. Stay in USA land of the free and homeless.
after growing up in the 70s in Sydney it was the best country in the world but now it's a joke how bad is it? we make nothing tax everyone and everything multiple times and wonder why things are going bad.
The ATO isn't a legal entity, but the Australian Government justify it's existence due to the Tax Act. You are correct it technically is a criminal enterprise, and in fact the Australian Government is corporation masquerading as government. There is no line of Authority being God-Monarch- Commonwealth and the Australian Government's Crown is a St Edwards Vatican Crown not the 1901 Imperial Crown of the Commonwealth of Australia. The pretend monarch is a company named "Elizabeth 2" or now Charles 3.. Smoke and Mirrors and Freemasons
1 million Aborigines want their royalties.....
All true except the tolls are not km based.
I remember an acquaintance saying to me in the 1970s, do you realise that we are living in the best times now, quality of life is all going down from here onwards, that has proven to be true.
Australia the lucky country, yes for the uber rich and those well off with multiple investment properties, not so lucky for the rest of us, and in the last few years the situation is getting much worse, at this rate I just wonder how bad is it going to get! 😞
They were the best not so much now
What is the old saying the harder you work the luckier you get.
no, it’s more like the harder you work the more tax you have to pay meanwhile the corporates pay less so tell me who benefits most and why is that?
Australia used to be a great place, cost of living was so ,low, wages were good, houses were cheap compared to wages. The country is now completely broken.
Oh so you don't like the mines now 😂😂 mate this is what all you fucken older generation then millennials wanted.
Enjoy globalism. They sold out car factory's, they sold our food factory's, they sold our land, they sold our natural resources, they leased half our docks. And everyone is bowing down to the globalist company's taking our government for a run by raising our dollar. And when I say our government I mean the civilians that own the government.
I hate this place, Australia is only a land of opportunity for a very exclusive and select few, our unemployment and poverty statistics are not correct.

As an Australian the way I see things is that we are as a Country being fleeced at an alarming rate, the Corporate world pays very little to no tax while the wage earner along with Small Business carries our Country on our backs.

The ATO was found to be a non legal entity back in 2001 in the High Court of Australia. The ATO is owned by Black Rock , Bank of America and other American financial corporations through the Fed. We pulled the paperwork backing this all uop from the Australian Securities Investments Commission register of company names back about a year ago. Australia like the United States is dictated to by an intergovernmental committee based in Rome since for America 1962 and Australia 1973. The whole system of taxation in both countries is a scam orchestrated by the Fed as far back as 1913 when Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Bank Act .

Hey. go live in a 3rd world shithole. They got cheap beer and prostitution though.
@@ian7033-qj9wgAustralia is the shithole
Been in Thailand for 8 years, no tax from fully franked dividends as the tax is already taken out by the company paying you the dividend. Any money you have in you bank is taxed at 10% on the interest you earn, e.g. $1,000 - $100 and the bank takes that out, providing you tell them your going overseas and will become a foreign or non resident. Watch out for the new laws coming out (nothing concrete yet), but I heard that you would have to be out of the country for 3 years to be considered a non resident for tax purposes and in country for 45 days to be a resident for tax purposes, more than likely if it does come into effect, it will be around 1 July 2024. Edit: Also no Capital Gains Tax on the sale of shares. But don't hold property whatever you do.
@@confucius247 Good Tips, sounds like you are spot on. I dont own a home in Australia. I've amended my plan, likely wont go to Thailand due to the hazy foreign tax laws.

Born and raised in Australia and the past 10years has felt like a prison sentence. This country is owned and run by big cooperations that invest in our highly inflated housing market and constantly raise our cost of living. Negitive gearing HASTO BE ABOLISHED! The quality of life in Australia is gone and everybody is depressed and or ignorent or both we now have a country of nasty picky, selfish people. That is what happens when people are pushed to their limits.
Australia.. a great place to live when i was born 1962.
Late 80's a great place to visit.
2000+... a great place to get out of. As i have done 12 years ago.
Our quality of life is quickly going down the toilet. Cost of living and housing are through the roof.
Homelessness in the full time employed and working families is rampant and rising.
It’s farked! I have a few friends who are homeless, work full time were good tenants living in the same house for years then owner decided to sell up, left them high and dry, can’t find a rental so forced to move in with friends. I mean yeah technically not homeless in the sense of not living under a bridge but when you are living in one room full of your unopened boxes and no shed or yard space to do what you need to do for work is hardly having a home. Also iv seen doctors living permanently in caravans in parks because there’s no suitable housing. The world has gone mad. They taught us in school if you work hard enough you can get whatever you want, but the harder you work the more they tax you. Better off being poor and getting hand outs.
Australia has been a very heavy handed and heavily taxed draconian country for a very long time.
Haha we are taxed very slightly more than the US. But we have the benefit of not dying because w can't afford healthcare and no-one gets shot
Perhaps it's original purpose? Did our ancestors get scammed? Yes I think so
Can’t agree with that.
You should try Canada if you think Australia is tough on its border security and immigration rules.
Yet the people here keep voting for more rules. The government is the product of the people. Australia is ruled by Karen's
The ato owed me $30,000. Because of a mistake they made. I had to pay a tax lawyer to prove them wrong and it took me 2 years to get it back. An apology was not even considered. They are a law to themselves. Karma isn't a bitch. It's an employee of the ATO !!! Great video. Balanced and fair. And also 100% true .
They did the same thing to me, stole $23,000 from me
How did you find out they took money from you? How does that even haopen
I'm a born & bred Australian & had the chance to stay in the UK when I was young, I am so sorry I didn't take the opportunity. For a long time now the really rich Chinese have been putting our housing prices through the roof for years & getting away with huge tax advoidence. Australia is extremely racist towards the UK & European nationalities that got this nation off the ground. Asians, Africans & Arabs can walk through our door but if your European or from the UK it's expensive too vertically impossible. So is the Australian government racist towards the white European offspring of our founding fathers yes. Our government is also trying to change our constitution without telling us how & what changes will be made. They are doing what Canada is doing & trying to take away a lot of our rights to information on social media & mainstream news so we will be limited to what we can view. Anything classed as misinformation will be removed & banned, the only ones exempt from these new laws will be of course the state & federal governments they can of course dish out anything whether it's true or not. Australia & Canada were the two twin nations in the world that were considered the best to live in. People used to dream of being born into these two cultures. Unfortunately we have stood back for too long & just letting them take our rights, we don't even celebrate Christmas like we used to in case we offend another religion even though it is them coming to our culture & not the opposite way around. Our ancestors fort & died for our freedom now we are left wondering why. Every piece of land with any value is being handed back to the aboriginals that just leave it to sit & rot or lease it back to us for ridiculous amounts of money. They continue to blame past history for their on going problems & will take no responsibility for their own lives & mistakes. Apparently putting money in their pockets that they spend on drink will fix their drinking problems & when we give them free or cheap housing & destroy it we should fix it, the whites have the the same problems but apparently we only have ourselves to blame & ourselves to fix it Yes what a great place Australia was once but no longer. But take note people Australia & Canada are trial nations for the introduction of the world Government so don't run to far because other nations are closely following behind. You see, if you don't know where to look you only see the faults in other nations while your governments are busy hiding your faults from you.🇦🇺🐨😢😡

The Australian government (liberal or labour) are career politicians, they serve themselves and not Australians. Since 2000 australia has gone downhill.

That’s it keep telling people not to come to Australia the last thing we need is more people .

Worked hard, saved hard and paid taxes - for what? Look at what’s happening in Europe with DEI, wokeness, illegal immigrants - sad and worrying times ahead in Australia.
Australia has the worst government ever right now, Labor/Green, highest property prices in the world and out of control immigration.
After seeing how they handled the "pandemic"; I can't imagine why they haven't gutted their government. It looked like an authoritarian police state. It's. a shame as it is a beautiful and interesting country.
The govt flew in foreign cops as part of the "Strong Cities" program (these were the ones in riot gear only identifiable by a black number on red patch who also used armoured vehicles against unarmed citizens). The govt has a monopoly on violence and when it suits them they ignore the laws as nothing can be done against them for doing so.
Also note that under Dictator Dan's omnibus bill, the definition of "detained" has been changed permanently to remove being "charged" or "sentenced", thus allowing someone to be permanently detained without any charge or sentence - i.e. a political prisoner, without any right of appeal. The same omnibus bill also changed the law to permit anyone to be "detained" for "public health & safety" purposes without charge or sentence. This means the govt can cart you away for any reason they like. The same omnibus bill changed the law to also permit the govt to force anyone to undergo any medical procedure they deem is required for "public health & safety". His "permanent powers" bill changed the law to let him declare a state of emergency if he felt there was or could be an emergency of any type anywhere in the world, and that the emergency period would be indefinite subject to him confirming to himself and his cronies every month that there was an emergency. How long until he uses "climate" as the excuse to lock everyone down?
Many in Australia believe the elections (not all but key electorates) are rigged - the seat of Mulgrave (Dictator Dan's seat) had a clear win for the independent but because a letter from the VEC (Victorian Electoral Commission) instructed vote counters to only care about "Labor & Liberal" votes (which of the two was the higher preference over the other), the Dictator won. When the independent tried to get a recount he was told "there's no need, the correct person won".
Combine this with the fact that there was election rigging (electoral fraud) by means of the existence of fraudulent parties "Sack Dan Andrews Party" - fraud because this party was the opposite of what it claimed to be and also because it was 100% funded and run by another party (Labor). What did the VEC do? Absolutely nothing because they're 100% crooked and run by Dictator Dan and one of his ministers.
The reality of elections is "selected, not elected", and no it has nothing to do with the stupid preference system as shown by the commission only caring about two-candidate preferred. Also there is footage from the NSW election going around the internet where an electoral official puts boxes of votes in a private vehicle and says that they're rigging the election.
Oh and FYI, only the govt is supposed to make laws according to the Constitution yet "National Cabinet" which was created during the plandemic has 100% usurped the Federal Government as the Prime Minister lets National Cabinet exclusively make laws. There is no legitimate govt as long as National Cabinet exists.

Where had Australia gone wrong it's it turned out like Hong Kong. High rise everywhere. In the last 15 years units were built it's all mould linking building so poorly build. Because the builder were signing of the properties. Conflict of interest.
Don't get me wrong Australia is a beautiful country, but became too expensive too live.
I worry what's the next generation going to do. Creating a society off helpless. Depression drugs etc.
My heart goes out when I go and feed the homeless all over Sydney listening to there stories. Makes you cry😂😂😂❤❤
ATO, is NOT an "Australian Government" department. Its a private agency. THAT has been disclosed in High Court cases. You can make your own conclusions about WHAT ATO is and WHO owns ATO.
The ROTHCHILDES of course...
Please cite the cases.
Jesus christ all this tax bullshit. I think at that point it's just best to live out in the bushes and greet them with an arrow in case to dare to go find you.
I came from UK to Australia just before pandemic and worked 6 months. I had permanent visa, but I returned back to UK.
I really didn't like it
Lack of culture, style, boring, old fashioned, backwards , poor quality, low tech, bad cars and roads , no motorways, too far to anywhere, empty streets and beaches, sharks , spiders, too hot , boring and depressed people, mental health issues, reduced standards compared to UK, uneducated annoying people who thought Australia was the best in the world, poor online services, I had to drive car to a registration office and file complaint on rude assistant.
It's a police state as well just like USA , poor quality restaurants, couldn't find decent Indian or Thai
On top of that their immigration system is a complete scam, I wish I didn't waste so much ££ on that BS
I think it's a good place to visit for holidays but not to live there
Imagine the Corporations paying the same percentages that the majority individuals pay. Then Corporations would leave the country. Do you know Taxes pay for infrastructure removal, like old powerstations, buisness is never responsible for anything.
I get tired of hearing Australians say how great this place is.....a government that taxes people through the roof.....constantly introducing more laws......cost of living constantly increasing......housing prices high.......homelessness increasing.....list goes on.
exactly right. this is why I plan on leaving ASAP!
If you think it's much better anywhere else then you're fooling youself. There are homeless everywhere.
As an Australian I find this to be accurate. Good video.
So essentially what your saying is that you want all the benifits of a social safety net and universal health care that provides low cost support to everyone including you but you don't want to pay for it.. you just want everyone else to pay for it
Health care in Australia is absolute garbage
Doctors quality leaves much to be desired, and even dangerous, lots and lots of negligence cases.
I know, been here for 18 years, and GPs are what I call government reporters, instead of looking at you when you describe symptoms, they keep typing on the computer as you talk. They follow step by step guidelines given by the all mighty government. These are no doctors.
Who said anything about wanting anything? Leaving takes you away from the Australian "safety net"
Then please hurry and leave you tax dodger
no matter what youtube channel of a certain country join into you can witness that everyone complains about there own country. it’ll never be perfect thats for sure and it never was
Spot on mate. This country is the most governed, draconian law, heavily taxed place. Its a place where working is all a person can do because a house and cost of living is insane.
I am Australian and you are right we are under attack here financially, we are such a nanny state and are taxed big time, I would love to leave and go somewhere it’s not so draconian and the laws are not so strict….as a business owner we get slammed with business tax, BAS then income tax - it sucks
Can't you open a trust and claim business expenses on many things? I don't think it's that bleak if you are clever following the rule of law to your benefit. Maybe do more research
Spot on
We’re going back to our penal colony roots ? Why do people with no clue about what it’s like to live here keep complaining about what things may or may not have been like in the f***ing 1800s ? If you need to flash back that far back to form the basis of an argument, then perhaps you should hold off on your criticisms of contemporary life here. Taxation rules here may be complex but that is to avoid being ripped off by people who consider it a challenge to pay as little tax as possible. And it’s not like we’re mean and nasty with our tax revenues. Last financial year, sixty percent of all taxation revenue went towards welfare and around half of that went to support aged pensioners. Maybe many of these tax avoiders would prefer to live in countries with a more laissez faire approach to taxation such as Venezuela, Angola or Liberia. You could quite happily spend your days hiding under your bed smug in the knowledge you’re no longer contributing to the Australian way of life.
Well said mate 👍🏻
Well said indeed!
Australia is terrible. Convict master slave relationship courses through everything. People roll over to nanny state measures in all aspects especially in Victoria.
The convict based foundations of Australia are rotten. Personal freedom is not a valued trait or value in Australia which is why those living within the open air prison are oblivious. Simply, they have no conception of what living free truly is, when their whole life has been socially conditioned in subservience to the state.
But your beloved govt sends most of your hard earned money to their mafia mates in Ukraine..and your happy with that?
I left years ago. Australia has changed it is not the country I grew up in and loved. Over bearing government, high taxation but worst of all is the politicians allowing in low class people with beliefs that are inconsistent with the good old Aussie spirit. The Buddhists and Hindus seem to get along with the Christians and Jews...but not the lot from Sandland. I chose Thailand. I like the hot weather and the folks here are easy going. I will die here.
I'm the same as you, now live a better standard of living in Cambodia on $1,000 USD per month
I lived in Australia late 80's very early 90's, their tax rates are high. The ATO is a nightmare, they are like debt collectors, from what i heard locally. I have never been back only in Sydney for 2 days about 15 years ago. I would never live there for tax reasons. Earning and paying high taxes was not my cup of tea.
I remember dealing with the ATO when they believed Apple was a Windows program, they are not the sharpest tools in the shed. A good accountant is worth they weight in tax refunds. Penal colony mentality never died, it’s aspirational for many politicians.
I was born here and I live here and I can tell you all the price of living is through the roof when a packet of cigarettes cost $50. The price of houses has jumped up to $1 million. We are probably the most taxed country in the world, the living cost is a joke and the government seem to always give themselves pay rises or not caring for the people who live here .
foreign investment in our housing market is a disgrace pushing home prices and even rent through the roof on average $700 a week for rent .
Food prices are way through the roof as well being your mate even your every day needs a bottle of milk close to 5 dollars .

Problems? Where to live in the world that you will feel at home. Wherever you go, you take yourself and the way you think. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he! You are not your past, nor anyone else's. If you misidentify with beliefs and concepts, they will keep you bound. Freedom and so-called happiness are not something that you seek, they are what you already are. Conditioning by the systems of the world is what entrap you. Know Self, forget about every-thing else. Peace.
You cant just forget about it. It is not right and its not only me im worried about what about everyone else living in this reality. What do you want me to do go down the holy river and do yoga and pray , say im holy man and just ignore it. Shit maybe only oxygen will keep me alive or arnt i suppose to worry about breathing either. Just see if theres peace when i drop dead. Idiot.
Hey mate, I’m doing amazing in Australia❤ I love paying taxes here Australia’s healthcare system is the best and has amazing Drs and Nurses compared to where I was born. It’s not just the healthcare system there are so many good things about Australia. At the moment what I don't like is the high price of owning a house which is happening all around the world. “I’m talking about comfortable house and their standard houses”

Thanks for the info but just saying I'm not OCD but who built the stairs in the place you did this video? There's some major gaps that don't look like expansion joint's? Anyway thanks for the update been milked since I started working 😅
I tried really hard to like Australia by spending 2 months this winter, but I really don't understand the interest of living when you can live anywhere around the world and have a way better culture and architecture to appreciate.
Well you can earn AUD$200K driving a truck! 🥳 Oz isn't perfect but it is better than most places if you have to earn a living.
Yep, and you'll give 40% of that to the government. Great deal.
Plus your house will cost you over a million $ if you are lucky. Unless you move out into the middle of nowhere and commute for 3-4 hours a day and the roads are 💩. Awesome deal.
You don’t like a country? How is that even possible to not like an entire country?
I agree. I love culture and architecture and I didn't find Australia great for that. I also missed really good museums there
I have lived in Australia all my life, and would advise anyone considering moving here FORGET IT, it is possibly the worst place in the world to live, reasons, RULES,RULES AND RULES, SHOCKINGLY BAD PLACE STAY AWAY.
Nonsense, no Australian residents are leaving Australia because of any 'draconian' Australian tax laws. There are two things guaranteed in life, taxes and death. The thing that makes taxes in Australia 'difficult' for some is the Australian Tax office and the Australian Government are continually eliminating methods of avoiding the taxes that we all know must be paid.
No wonder this country is in such a mess...
Tell me you have stockholm syndrome without telling me
well I for one as a born in 47 , national service 2 year nacho, did leave australia in 2012 because of the tax and the costs, now live in thailand on a farm and I have never been better off at 77 living in thailand ! so now you have at least one
The most reasonable post in here. People carry on as if it's their right to pay zero taxes and live like kings.
The ATO are a-holes. Never mess with them. They will destroy you
You have no reason to worry about the ATO if you aren't a tax cheap bludging on the rest of us. So what are you so stressed about big fella?
They are a criminal organisation.
@@brettteague3464Are you happy funding a crime syndicate, sounds like it?
and the CSA is very corrupt to, any appeal will only cost you more and the caring parent will get their family benefit reduced if they refuse CSA intervention. The government thinks the people are their servants.
CSA is its offspring
I'm an Australian citizen, so I'm stuck with our Jewish tax department...

If you don't want to pay our taxes we don't want you here. He didn't make much sense - he didn't even mention double tax agreements and he didn't explain the 45 day rule. The benefits of Australia are beyond his scope of understanding. You can ask for a ruling at anytime, there is no need to go to court. He's not a team player, he's a shill. I'd like to see how much he earns for such sh*t advice

I moved to Japan and after 3 years of extremely low income Im heading back to Aus.. even after tax and huge rental your still getting ok wages and some family support.. in Japan you get NOTHING. things aren't that much cheaper (mest is twice price of aus) but wages here are less than what a 13 year old gets at Maccas..alot of people in debt here just si they can have there iPhone and latest Black Toyota Van..there all like sheep here....
That “country” recognizes the Londoner King Chucky as their head of state.

Nice area. I used to live there.
Want the benefits but don't want to pay for it - how unusual.
We want to use the health services, public transport, roads, airports, etc...
Why should we be required to chip in for the infrastructure we use?

@@davidnorton7464 who pays then? Do you think the money comes from a magical money tree?
He's talking about people who left Australia already. If you leave then you're not using the infrastructure, not getting the benefits!

Every year, more and more countries that you have been recommending to your clients for many years are becoming tax hells. Do your clients love displacing their families every five years to chase the next low-tax but poor country?
Guess which country has always been very liberal and conservative, has always had lax tax laws in the past few decades and has not only prospered far beyond other countries, but also offers one of the highest standards of living on the planet, had very lax rules during covid (because politicians don't have the last say - the population does), and will continue to have lax tax laws and continue to prosper much more than the rest of the world and would probably have been the better, albeit not the "cheapest" recommendation for the majority of your family oriented clients all along.
Just wait another 10 years and there will be only 2 or 3 countries left to recommend, of which one will be the decision to spend the rest of your life in what boils down to a continuously heated and humidified shopping center with a dictator at its helm and no social systems to mention, and one that has true democracy and almost unparalleled quality of life.
Your job seems to become easier every year as more countries become tax hells. 😉😂
The ATO is not that bright, they chased a friend of mine years ago for over two years with same investigator. My mate was in a cash business and the same guy followed him around to four different locations over two year period. This guy pretended to be a half wit, telling my friend his father had the same business years ago. Asking him thousands of questions. One night my friend was moved to a different location, just around the corner just sitting in the dark and he watched this ATO guy walking from another business owner. They locked eyes and the ATO guy the word F#ck. He knew his cover was blown but the funny thing is why my mate knew over two years earlier and warned other business owners, who he was. But other owners of businesses did cash jobs. The worst thing about the ATO is even if you are right and you take them to court and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, they can back date kaw changes so they win. An accountant told me just pay them what they want. There was a well-known criminal and Melbourne they were chasing for money and he met them in a restaurant open a suitcase with I don't know know how many hundreds of thousands of dollars and he said this is all you getting. They took it and close the case against him.
Another case of brainless govt goons just following orders.
They are very aggressive also includes ASIC !
All you need to know is hundreds of thousands of ozzies left Australia to come to miserable London lol
Citizens of Australia and Canada have my sympathy 😢
Everywhere is the same shit
The ATO? Are they not privately owned by the ROTHCILD'S ? Not even a legit government? Makes sense as to why the situation is so dier if this is the case! As a kiwi from NZ its seriously not much different here but waaaaay less money to go around.
You know what you need?! 1776...
What if you’re going there to work in the minds for a few months or possibly a year and you’re not an Australian citizen
I haven’t lived in Australia since 2010. It pains me to say this, but it’s turned into an expensive authoritarian Nanny State so I won’t be coming back.
Hi, how are you? Please, is there any chance that you could know, Australians, who would be interested in forming a rural community, in South America?
Oh yeah great I remember paying "provisional" tax back in the late 80's at the age of 16 because I had a couple of thousand in the bank and a small term deposit.
Good times.
Child taxing is SLAVE LABOUR. Younger than 18 y.o.a. cannot vote: therefore > taxation without representation = SLAVE LABOUR. exhibit A)

I think the ATO are pissed off because 50 thousand Aussies claimed fake GST refunds, averaging arond $30,000 each refund. Over billions of dollars were refunded. 🤪
Australia was a penal colony, but its generations and people still carries the masters/slaves mindset .

Where are you from? The UK isn't exactly fantastic either and the weather there is usually sh!te.
Australia has changed a LOT over the last 2 decades,it’s definitely not what it used to be. I’m glad I was a teenager in the 80s and an adult in the 90s because that’s when Australia was Australia-not this bs it is today.
Thank for sharing.
