Planning Your Move from the US to Australia

Moving back to Australia from the US isn’t just a relocation.

It’s a tax event.

In this episode, co-hosts Jarrad Brown and Will Cant are joined by Jason Stoch from Uptrend Advisory to unpack what Australian expats need to understand before making the move home.

Because the US doesn’t just let go easily.

We cover:

→ The key tax differences between the US and Australia
→ Why leaving the US is more complex than most expect
→ How global taxation continues even after you leave
→ The US “exit tax” and who it applies to
→ Common traps when renouncing residency or citizenship
→ Timing strategies around income, bonuses, and asset sales
→ How US investments and retirement accounts are treated on return
→ Where the US–Australia tax treaty helps (and where it doesn’t)
→ Ongoing reporting obligations and risks if you get it wrong

We also share real client case studies, Australians relocating both to and from Australia, covering what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how far in advance you actually need to plan.

If you’re in the US, or thinking about heading back, this is essential listening.

Because getting this wrong isn’t just frustrating.

It’s expensive.
