- Moving back to Korea from Australia: super, property, and the money you bring home
Moving back to Korea touches four money systems at once: your Australian superannuation, capital gains tax on any property you keep, the date you stop being an Australian tax resident, and Korea's rules on bringing money in. None of it is automatic, and the timing of each step changes the tax. Here is the map, in plain language.
- Moving back to Korea: what happens to your Australian super?
Australian super is money for retirement, not money you collect on the way out. Returning to Korea does not release it automatically — PRs and citizens must meet a condition of release (age and retirement). So the real question isn't whether you can withdraw, but when — your age, tax residency, the exchange rate, and your return date all change the result.
