Tax Residency
Your tax residency determines whether the income you derive overseas is assessable in Australia.
An Australian resident living overseas remains liable for Australian income tax unless they are treated as a non-resident under complex tax laws.
There are a number of characteristics which determine if you are a foreign resident for Australian tax purposes. Each case depends on the taxpayer’s circumstances. No two cases are alike.
To determine whether you are a foreign resident, and thus not liable for Australian tax, you should seek legal confirmation of your residency status.
If we are satisfied that you are a foreign resident, our written advice will always assist if the ATO queries your status and can prevent penalties from arising.
- Residency status for tax purposes;
- The taxation of income earned overseas;
- Capital gains tax implications of becoming or losing one’s Australian tax residence; and
- The status of superannuation which is accumulated in an Australian superannuation fund and which is left behind when an individual emigrates from Australia
