Guest Want to be in Oz Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hi All I have been told that you can claim back the full cost of shipping your stuff to oz once you get there via your tax return. I'm sure this is true as it's someone who's been through the process who's done this who passed the info onto to a member of my family. Just thought I'd let you all know this can be done. Someone correct me if this is wrong information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Really? I'm dubious - sounds too good to be true I paid my shipper in the UK, in sterling. I'm not sure how I'd be able to claim it back from either UK or Oz tax people... Have you got more details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieQ Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Some people claim back from employers if they come here on employer sponsor visas...but not sure you are able to claim back from ATO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Yep, claiming it back from an employer sounds feasible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
