Hello there. My husband and I are moving to Bali in July 2015 and are preparing ourselves now..(Ages 55 and 58...).
Some questions we have
1/ If you leave Australia and intend to stay in Bali do we pay capital gains tax on properties we sell in Australia?
2/ Does anyone have a good accountant in Australia that deals in tax, expat finances etc?
3/ If you live in Bali can you work at all? eg. In a dress shop etc?
4/ If you rent/lease in Bali do you have to have a Balinese person work for you in some capacity?
5/ Is it easy to get a teaching job in Bali? eg At Green School? Anyone have contacts? Chris is a school teacher...(Primary or English and Tesol)
6/ Any guesses on how much it costs to live comfortably in Bali per year? Eg. Doing yoga, gym, dinner out occasionally, a weekly massage etc...just living there and having a nice lifestyle? eg rent per week plus expenses?
7/ An average rent on a house, unit with plunge pool, open living in and around Seminyak. 40 minute radius?
8/ Is it easy to buy mopeds, jeeps , boats in Bali at a good price?
We realise this is a lot of questions thus far but we are getting organized now and are starting a Bali folder of information....Hope you can help..
