How to calculate taxes on foreign payments?
If for some reason the bank's rate on that day was higher than the Central Bank's rate (the rarest

additional calculations.
Can I cancel a money transfer from Tuvalu to Australia after it's sent?

To do so, contact the provider's support team in Tuvalu or use their app/website. Keep in mind that some services may charge a cancellation fee for transfers between Tuvalu and Australia.
