I bought property in Malaysia. HSBC Malaysia keep sending me this CRS form to fill out (which I keep throwing in the bin), which states they THINK I am tax resident in HK and Malaysia. Nothing about Australia on there. I'm not sure how I managed this. Actually I think when I opened the HSBC MY account in some TST hotel showroon years ago I may have just used my HKID as ID. I really cannot remenber. But have I successfully fooled the system and hidden my Malaysia property from the eyes of the Australian tax office?
Actually I bought this 50% in my name and 50% in my Japanese wifes name. So I guess I've got 4 countries (MY, AU, JP, HK) that I have to try and hide this property from
