Aussie Expat Podcast

Welcome to the eighty second episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today's Expat Chat we talk about the different types of tax concessions available to Australian property owners and whether Australian expats eligible for any of them. The Australian property sector is a large contributor to the Australian economy and to keep it appealing to investors both the federal and state governments off tax concessions to property owners.

In this episode we run through the following topics: • What is a tax concession? • What is the Main Residence Exemption? • What is the 50% capital gains tax discount? • What tax concessions are available to Australian expats?
