not an easy subject - is RM paid by AVQ resident SI subsidiary company or from Australian company?. Just that some Aust mining companies have overseas subsidiaries based in the relevant jurisdiction they are mining in.

so could be pretty complex as to how he was being paid and from what company (if not AVQ), then you have foreign residency laws and double tax agreements to contend with.

at end of day probably irrelevant - he is still making a motza from SH's.
