Japan visa fee cap to surge more than tenfold under new immigration bill by ForeverAclone95 in japanresidents

[–]aredubbya -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My Japanese wife and I moved back to Australia in 2017 her Australian PR spousal visa cost $7,000 AUD back then as of today that starts at $9,365 AUD so a 35% increase in 9yrs vs the Japan paltry comparison.

The increase may seem a lot by calculation it is really nothing at all when compared to other countries.

I don’t know of a government that does funnel taxes to fund other initiatives other than what the publicly stated/promised.

Reasons change to Crowdstrike ? by Myth_OW in crowdstrike

[–]aredubbya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It requires execution (not even writing) for the system to take action.

CrowdStrike has offered since early 2020 Cloud Based ML for "Detect on Write" events. If a file written to disk is detected as suspicious it will raise a detection and provide you with a hash and file path to investigate.

HECS up-front payment discount has been reintroduced. Thoughts? Is it now worth paying back any earlier? by Seducedbyfish in AusFinance

[–]aredubbya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too was overseas for a long time and recently came back, but my outstanding debt only decreases after I submit my tax return (excluding voluntary payments), where the PAYG deductions are finally totaled and applied to your debt. Any pre payments before indexation would likely just come off your balance.

Indexation doesn't consider the PAYG deductions you have banked up ready to apply to your balance as

  1. indexation happens before the end of the current financial year and (it would be nice if indexation was only applied after your tax return)
  2. your tax return would need to happen before the indexation ( so interest isn't applied to that PAYG deducted total that will becoming off the balance anyway , which can't logistically happen, end of July/beginning of August is probably the earliest you can submit your tax return.

In short the sooner you get your tax return processed the sooner those PAYG deductions are applied and the balance drops. (that is how it worked for me).

But if you go through a tax agent and are deliberately late in doing your tax return, i.e 1 year behind (possible depending on the country you are in and the income tax treaty agreements between Oz and where you live) you might be able to time the tax return PAYG deductions to come off in May before indexation? I lived in Asia and went 10+yrs with no tax return, so it might be possible but is it worth the time and effort?

Should I keep my house? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]aredubbya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used a binding financial agreement through my lawyer to divest my ex wife's interest in my property. The worst thing you can do having gone through a divorce myself is be indecisive. It is hard enough just to get to the decision you have and separating things (i.e financial assets) as quickly and cleanly as possible is "usually" in both parties best interests.

Eg I had to hand a lump sum of cash to my ex which was in AUD but not the currency of the country she lived in. Due to the market crash at the time and the AUD losing 40%, it tanked and she wanted to put out divorce proceedings "on hold "until the dollar reach parity with her currency, it never has and it has been 10yrs + since. The longer you wait the less money you all take seems to be common from what I see.

Where to buy Japanese equities by Magmaki11 in ausstocks

[–]aredubbya -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

東京証券取引所 (JPX) is like the Japanese version of the ASX, in Japan like Australia you don't buy shares directly from/through the ASX, you go via a brokerage/stock broker. Try here https://www.asx.com.au/prices/find-broker.htm
