    Affordable Personal Tax Advisor

    Hi all,

    I am German citizen, Australian Permanent Resident and just relocated from Australia to Hong Kong in December. I am now trying to work out what is best (and required) from a tax perspective given fiscal years are different and I had income in both countries in the current FY (ie income in Australia all of last CY until November, then December till now in HK). In particular, what income I declare on what tax return (or which tax return I actually have to / should file to optimize tax liabilities).

    Also, does anyone know if Germany has a double tax treaty by now? Information online is sketchy. Just want to know if I can move my brokerage account from Australia to Hong Kong without any issues, too.

    If anyone can recommend an affordable competent personal tax advisor who is across tax law across multiple jurisdictions, that would be much appreciated?

    Regards,
    F

    In HK you will declare income from Dec 2015- March 2016 and pay tax if due.
    In Australia, i assume you will pay tax on the income upto Nov 2015.
    Finding a tax consultant with knowledge of multiple jurisdiction, will be expensive. If you want you can ask the
