Moving from Australia

Moving to Dubai from Australia is not the same as moving from anywhere else. Australian tax residency turns on the "resides" test and the statutory tests around it, not a simple day count, departure can trigger a CGT deemed-disposal event on assets you hold, and there is no Australia-UAE tax treaty to fall back on, so the order you do things in matters more, not less. General guidance only, not personal tax advice, the Australian side of a move deserves Australian-qualified advice.
