Hi everyone,
I’m really new here. I wonder to know if the taxes is the same for a funded account like topsteptrader or speeduptrader? Is it through personal ABN? Due I won’t trade my own capital I’m not really sure how that work.
Also, some one know a good accountant based in Melbourne for day trader?
Thanks

First decide if you are thinking of migrating to Australia for lifestyle reasons or purely for Tax purposes.
- If it is for tax reason it is not a low tax environment (as compared to Singapore) it is a mixture of Capitalist and Socialist system so pros and cons
- Lifestyle wise it is good, among one of the top but on expensive side
If you want a mixture of lifestyle and low tax then perhaps UAE / Singapore etc are better
but again it depends upon your end goal? Dependent Children / Education cost etc
Few things to remember
- ATO is very smart and if you are resident of AUS for tax purposes you have to declare ALL global income, you can get tax offset if the other country has a Double taxation treaty . Forget abut the idea of having an offshore company and not declaring any income from that company to ATO .
- Within Australia even if you trade under a company entity and then draw a salary please check with an AUS accountant if this will be considered personal services income and the so called 80/20 rule ( more than 80% of income from once source ) if it does then the "advantage" of trading as a company may not apply!
So lots of variables dont assume things

Interesting, the OP dates from 2002 though, he probably made up his mind already, Ktm549 could have started a new thread - it took me a while to realize it was from 2002, was wondering how someone could advice nowadays to trade through an IBC and just hide the income. it used to work fine, but afaik no longer.
Fwiw I've been 3 times to Oz (plus once to NZ) in the last 3/4 years and found quality of life second to none.
it might depend on the season but as a tourist places like Darwin and Perth were noticeably cheaper than Melbourne and Sydney.

Thanks everyone for answers,
I have been in Australia for 4 year. Also, trading should be my second income due I work as a full time in other jobs. So, I’m resident for tax purpose. I’m so close to be funded for topsteptrader and I just wonder to know if my income should be like if I trade with my own capital?
For example, I know in my homecountry (Spain) to be a funded trader, have to pay a couta like a feeelance people, and the % per range if higher than you trade with your own capital.
Hope make me clear.
Thanks guys
