The Government changed their interpretation in the Entrepreneur Work Visa of the term WORKING CAPITAL
The new interpretation is that applicants are now allowed to include and count all those funds and all those assets that they put into a business towards their business as the investment for which they can claim points.
The exceptions are:
- Investment in residential property
- Investment in things for personal use e.g. a family home or car
- Passive funds or passive investments e.g. term deposits
- The salaries paid to the applicant’s family who may be included in the application
