    Default Income, tax and cost of living

    My company is looking to move me to Bali. The good thin is I have a choice as to if I want to go or not. The company will arrange visa and that side, but I have to get accommodation, transportation, schooling for kids etc. I will be earning around $8000 US to $10,000 US a month. Want to know what tax's r like and if this amount is enough to live well as a family of 4. Any help would be great.
    Cheers Greg.

    With US$8 to 10,000 a month, your family will live like royalty! With the exchange rate at present, that's about 65 to 85 million a month.

    To give you an idea, it's possible to rent a small house for a year for that amount.

    I think only education you will find expensive. I would try to negotiate that into your contract.

    Does your company have any more jobs going?
