Advice/Knowledge on having rental property in UK

[Mrs Maggie]

Hi

I wonder if anyone can help or point me in the right direction...

We are looking at emigrating and different options - one which we have is that we rent our property out in the UK so we have some income in Oz.  I wondered if anyone currently does this and if so is do you have to pay tax etc in the UK/Oz for this income ?

Any advice info would be gratefully received. :)

Hello

Assuming when in Australia you are permanent residents (as opposed to temporary) then the typical tax treatment here is pretty much no different to owning an investment property here, broadly income less allowable expenses are taxable at applicable marginal tax rates.

Tax may be payable in the UK however in most cases the UK tax free allowance mean none is due, if UK tax is payable then typically that can be offset against tax due in Australia.
