• Korean Property Rules Follow You to Australia: Loans, Tax, Residency and Remittance

  Korean property does not become simple just because you live in Australia. Loan rules, rental income, capital gains tax, residency status, inheritance and gifts, sale-proceeds remittance and FX all tangle together. Do not sell on the headline price alone — look at the after-tax, after-remittance, after-FX amount.

• If Australia's 50% CGT discount disappears — when should a returning migrant sell?

  Australia gives a 50% CGT discount on assets held over a year. The government is weighing a switch to indexation, but nothing is final. For someone returning to Korea, the rate matters less than the timing of the sale — and the key variable is Korea's '5-year rule': if you've been back under five years, gains on overseas assets are less likely to be taxed in Korea.

• Moving Back to Korea from Australia: Super, Property, and the Money You Bring Home

  Moving back to Korea touches four money systems at once: Australian super, CGT on any property you keep, the date you stop being an Australian tax resident, and Korea's rules on bringing money in. Timing is everything — sell your Australian home after becoming a non-resident and you can lose the main-residence exemption entirely. The 'when' can decide tens of thousands of dollars.
