Hi All,
I am toying the idea of applying for an internal transfer to either Australia or New Zealand.
There are a few things that I need to find out before making the decision.
1. The tax in Aust/NZ are paid monthly or yearly?
2. What are the things that I can claim/relief from the tax?
- House rental? Car rental? Kids? etc etc
3. What are the cost for primary and secondary education?
Please advise if there are other important things that I need to look into.
Thank you in advance.
Not sure anout NZ, but here in Australia, tax is deducted from your salary (I'm assuming that the internal transfer means that you're not setting up a business of your own), and tax returns are claimed following the end of the financial year (30 June). As for deductables, look here. No kids yet, so I don't know about school fees.

Yeah, that's about right. Employers aren't going to go through the hassle of completing paperwork to justify hiring you, when they could easily hire someone who's already got work rights in Australia.
The least troublesome path is skilled migration - see if you fit anywhere in this list.
There was an article in the Strait Times published that Aus came up with new policies about reducing skill immigrants? or that is not in effect?
Of course since it was published by the Strait Times they put it as headlines. In australia could be just a small changes.
They probably have reduced the numbers - I haven't been paying too close attention to recent developments.
If they do reduce the numbers, what that typically would mean is that the points cutoff would be raised. The upshot of this is that the less qualified applicants won't get in.
right so the changes in the matrix would means they are narrowing the type of folks they want.
Yup - it means that they are raising the bar instead of letting in a gazillion balgala construction workers.
Australia loves their own people,they cherish them,make sure they have savings and money to eat good food every day.
they seldom let in unskilled workers and 90% mostly workers tend to be skilled with degree/education from overseas and with decades of high tech industrial experience that is probably 40 years ahead of current australia industrial expertise be it from oz big cities to any oz production lines.
in the past during gedakans time when he applied.....any tom dick n harry could enter into oz.i could too back then even without much industrial experience.
but as fate would have it.....i didnt apply for my permanent residence back in 1990s due to commitments at home.
if u are destined to immigrate,then u would somehow end up in australia legally without much effort.that is if u are destined.if u arent...then no matter how hard u tried ...even if u ended up in oz...u still would somehow be lead back to somewhere else instead of australia.
1. The tax in Aust/NZ are paid monthly or yearly?
Not sure about NZ but in Aus, tax is paid straight up. You then lodge a tax return once a year to claim back any overpaid taxes. You also have to pay capital gains tax in Aust but not in NZ
