Key points Leaving Australia doesn’t automatically eliminate CGT. Australia’s deemed disposal rules (CGT event I1) often trigger a tax liability when residency changes, and even if deferred, the gain typically remains within Australia’s tax net. Timing and structure matter more than simply relocating. Moving overseas just before a sale rarely improves the outcome, as non-residents […]

That creates an incentive to over-import low and zero emissions vehicles to build a bank of credits. The next frontier is cross-market strategy, importing for compliance, then exporting surplus stock elsewhere. Australia’s New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES) […]
