They have an amazing amount of exper..." Read more

"Shane's tax guidance, and the annual help from the team at Expat Taxes with AU tax-returns, has been invaluable as we made our move from the USA to Portugal and now need to navigate the complexities of 3 tax jurisdictions, including Australia's Byzantine tax-residency laws!

"The webinar on the end of the capital gains tax main residence exemption was really informative- made sense of some rather nonsensical legislation. Shane explains everything really clearly with examples. Really recommended!"

I was taken by complete surprise because I thought I had done my homework, but I did not know this option was possible, and it is FAR superior to anything I had researched. If you have a lot of money on the line, it's wort..." Read more
