However, if you have employees who are residents of Australia for tax purposes but work overseas, then you have superannuation obligations that you must fulfill.\" [Removed by moderator]. Is this correct? Would they be considered a foreign national??\n\nI've found this: \"Generally, for: self-employed people – you are not subject to SG in Australia and there is no double liability for superannuation\" (https://www.ato.gov.au/businesses-and-organisations/super-for-employers/work-out-if-you-have-to-pay-super/super-for-employees-working-overseas-certificate-of-coverage/bilateral-social-security-agreements). However, the word \"generally\" means there are obviously situations where I do need to pay super, and like I said, if they were in Australia, they would be considered employees for super because of the nature of their work.\n\nI can't find an answer to this anywhere on the internet.\n\nPLEASE provide sources for your answers - responses on here without a legitimate source is not worth much of anything.

The employer is acting simply as pass through since the amount received by the insurance is than credited onto the employee bank account. For the sake of clearing any doubt, the employer gets $100 by the insurance and then transfers $100 to the employee. There is no top up or similar.\n\nBased on the above facts, is the employer obliged to report the amount via single touch payroll or is the employee responsibility to declare that amount as assessable income when lodging his/her personal tax return?\n\nReally appreciate your help on the matter.\n\nThank you"}

I used to invest in U.S.-domiciled ETFs, but I recently discovered that if I pass away with more than USD $60,000 in U.S. assets, my heirs could face up to **40% U.S. estate tax**, which would significantly reduce what they inherit.\n\nAfter some research, I learned that Australia doesn’t have an equivalent estate tax for Australian-domiciled assets. Based on this, I have a few questions:\n\n**1. Holding Australian shares after leaving Australia**\n\n- If I buy Australian ETFs or ASX-listed shares now, and years later I move back to my home country (Colombia) or elsewhere, can I keep holding and buying those shares from overseas?\n- I understand that as a non-resident, my dividends may be subject to a **30% withholding tax** since Colombia has no tax treaty with Australia. Is that the only tax implication I need to consider while holding them?\n- What happens if I sell those Australian shares while I’m a non-resident? Are capital gains taxed in Australia, or only in my home country?\n\n**2. Estate/inheritance considerations**\n\n- If most of my portfolio is in **Australian-domiciled ETFs** (like VGS, VAS) and I pass away, what happens to those assets?\n- Will my heirs need to pay any Australian taxes to inherit them, or is it tax-free in Australia?\n- I’m Colombian — can my heirs receive my Australian investments even if they are **not Australian residents**?\n- If taxes do apply in Australia, what percentage are we talking about?\n\n**Thanks in advance!**\n\nAre there any other important questions I should be asking to fully understand the risks and processes here?"}
