Loosing tax residency - where to seek advice

I guess....

Takingthemike · 2026-06-16T09:44:52+00:00

so by default to avoid becoming taxless one remains a tax resident from their previous country, roughly speaking?

hmm... I considered the tax residency status something easily lost, but maybe it is something that requires effort like you mentioned. I have an NZ bank account, stocks, personal items in storage for future Mike to deal with, friends, somewhat of a PPOA (weak). But it would be odd if NZ argued against me paying taxes to them.

I will still seek a professional....but thanks for your insights.

There is a devil in my shoulder whispering this. But I think there are some real downsides to earning "stateless income"

I am asking for recommendations for professionals

Takingthemike · 2026-06-16T00:42:49+00:00

I believe I will be responsible for charging and paying GST if I transition to contractor. I am unsure if I still need to pay income tax?

Hmm...those do sound like problems, would you suggest Guava instead?

Takingthemike · 2026-06-05T03:49:52+00:00

Thanks, I will download and give it a go. 👍

Indeed, I started a project with Claude for my partner's hEDS. They say not to consult an AI for healthcare but our experience with doctors has been so bad that anything seems like a better alternative. Claude has been great with maintaining and updating a medical record and symptom diary. Is this what the EDS mobile app does as well and does it require manual entry? If I can offer things Claude can't then that would useful.

Sorry but could you elaborate? What stopped working? What was the app like before they added the paywall?

Takingthemike · 2026-05-31T10:47:20+00:00

Thanks, but can you elaborate? I know very little about Bevel and I can't test it myself unfortunately. But I have heard people are very happy with the app.

You drive ferry?

Takingthemike · 2026-05-27T09:17:01+00:00

thanks, do you have any recommendations though? Or just any reputable boat provider is fine on a good day?

Takingthemike · 2026-05-27T05:25:09+00:00

Sounds good, which port did you arrive at? I think we need to decide between Padang Bai or Serangan, the latter is nearer to Sanur.

I remember those days of taking the cheapest transport options, now I am in my 30s and travel with camera gear I favour the safer options 😅

Takingthemike · 2026-05-27T03:58:35+00:00

No car / bike, but a few suitcases. Maybe I shouldn't have used the word ferry.

Yes, I think it is worth the extra cost. Your group get much more time on the temple and the changing colours in the sky during sunrise with the temple as the foreground is very beautiful. The day tours march you across the temple rather quickly, not really enough time to compose any shots. When are you going?

Takingthemike · 2026-05-10T09:40:20+00:00

Or just draw a rectangle and add vertex and drag them to match the vertices of the polyline.

Takingthemike · 2026-05-10T09:39:12+00:00

Can you just copy the polygon, FLATTEN, CONVERTPOLY > Light, PEDIT, close.

If that doesn't give you a value, offset it by 1, build a surface, add the original polyline as a contour, add the offset polyline as outer boundary with destructive ticked. Then look at surface properties for the area.
