To all you fellow Aussies round the world that have elected to work in professional positions overseas because the Australian income tax of 47%, plus the extra 10% GST tax plus the 1.5% Medicare levy tax and now the mongrels are considering an extra war tax. Just makes it impossible to get ahead here. Even if you work overseas you still have to declare your earnings to the Australian Tax Office. This mongrel Australian government encourage Superannuation savings for retirement, well you pay 15% tax on contributions, 15% tax on earnings and another 15% tax on final payout, what a laugh, the only country in the world that taxes super three times. There must be ways around this, apart from giving up your residential status here by having to move permanently overseas so you can earn a decent living to have a well deserved and comfortable lifestyle, have you found discreet ways of getting around this so that you don't have to pay this mongrel government anything of your well earned dollar?Sounds like tax free off-shore banking is the only way to go. there are only two ways to get ahead in Australia, be a politican or be unemployed with 4 or 5 kids living in sub standard conditions.
