All the time, effort and advice you have given us (and taking oh so many calls over the years) is a testament to you. I know we couldn’t have done it without you!

I think it is rare these days to have a very long term relationship where I can see that you have looked out for us, watched over us and given us great advice and most importantly, cared about us as not just "clients".
Michele, Singapore
Everyone I worked with on this purchase was fantastic. Ravin as usual gave me great advice and support.

With only three weeks before repatriating to Australia, I contacted Ravin who was able to quick action tax advise based on my specific circumstances.

Ravin made me more aware of the Australian tax environment. Thank you for your patient advice and redesigning my investments to maximise returns.

Steve Douglas on Aussie Expat Tax Planning
If you’re an Aussie expat, following these general principals can ensure that you return to Australia with a substantial portion of your earnings intact and a sizable buffer against income and capital gains tax on your future earnings.
On leaving:
- Determine whether to pay or defer Capital Gains Tax on non-property taxable assets
- Restructure your superannuation benefits to comply with regulations
- Determine depreciation levels on family home if rented out
Whilst you're overseas:
- Reduce all debt that is not related to income producing Australian property
- Invest in Australian property and utilise the tax benefits of borrowing and depreciation allowances
- Build up the maximum tax losses through negative gearing during the period you are overseas
- Save as much as possible utilising prudent investment mediums such as shares and trusts
