Meet the Lees — A Family of Four Returning to Sydney After 10 Years in Hong Kong

After a decade of dim sum, double-income no kids (and eventually two kids 😅), the Lees were ready to return to Australia.

🏠 New school for the kids
📦 Container full of furniture
💸 And a mild panic when they saw their first Aussie tax bill

They hadn’t lived in Australia for years, so they thought they’d start fresh.

🛑 Not quite.

🦊 Luckily, they found Felix the Tax Fox just in time.

The Australia Expat Tax Guide helped them:

• Confirm when they officially became Australian tax residents again
• Understand what foreign income and assets had to be reported (yes, including HK stock grants)
• Get clarity on capital gains cost base resets for their offshore investments
• Avoid double tax thanks to the Australia–Hong Kong tax treaty

They even adjusted the timing of their asset sales to save over $12,000 in taxes.

Now they’re settled in Sydney — smarter, smoother, and with more tax knowledge than their accountant.
