Tax & Social Charges..??? - iceman - 12-13-2005
Guys,
My company is paying me relocation allowance...which is subject to tax & social charges. I thought there were no taxes in Australia? Any ideas on that?
Cheers

Sounds like something they made up. Never heard of that. Ask them for a break down of exactly what that is.

Even though you're working in a 'tax-free' country if you're on a US payroll you tend to pay 'hypo' tax.

What is 'hypo' tax? (never heard of it)
Well I work for a French company...but I'll be working under a local (Brisbane) contract. Although my salary is in US$ and house allowance is in Australia Dirhams...!
Any ideas...will I be paying tax then?

mm interesting, those guys make and implement laws overnight. They dont have elected emmbers who make laws just a shiekh sitting in his porshe office with a cigar and making whatever laws that comes to his mind.

'Hypo' = hypothetical tax.
If you're an expat on a US payroll you're subject to US taxes. Although most companies will only deduct a 'hypo' amount from your pay and the difference to actual tax due is paid by the company.
I have no idea about French tax system so can't provide any comment for your situation.
