Taxes when you move to Sydney

Tax rules for a move to Sydney sit with Australian Taxation Office. Rates, filing thresholds and local add-ons change by tax year — read the official page rather than a copied percentage. City or municipal add-ons (wage tax, council tax, property tax) are on the city site where they exist.
