Individual Tax Return Services in Australia: Making Tax Time Easier for You

‍

Are you planning to enrol or have already enrolled in a course in Australia that lasts for six months or more? If so, you'll be considered an Australian resident for tax purposes.

‍

What this means for you:

• You'll pay tax on what you earn in Australia.
• The payment rate will be the same as for Australian residents.
• You'll be entitled to benefits under the Australian tax system, which may include a tax-free threshold (depending on the duration of your stay within the financial year), tax offsets, and lower tax rates than a foreign resident.

‍

For tax return purposes, Australian students must declare their income earned both domestically and internationally. Several rules apply to international students living in Australia on temporary visas.

‍

As a temporary resident, most of your foreign income is not taxed in Australia, and you don't declare it on your Australian tax return. You only declare income earned in Australia, as well as any income earned from employment or services performed overseas while you're a temporary resident of Australia.

‍

When lodging your tax returns in Australia, you'll need to consider your income from all sources and any expenses you may claim as deductions. The current COVID-19 pandemic may have impacted your income or entitled you to other deductions. Based on this information, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) will determine whether you're eligible for a tax refund or need to pay additional taxes.
