If
you are a overseas visitor and you intend to work in Australia during your
holiday, you will need a Working Holiday Visa (WHV). As a WHV holder, the
Australian Tax Office (ATO) states that overseas travellers must declare themselves
as 'residents' for tax purposes.
In the past, you were able to claim the Tax Free Threshold of around $6000
and then pay 17c in the dollar up to $20,000 of earnings (all figures here
are approximate).
But the rules have changed, now all WHVs holders are taxed at 29c in the dollar
on all earnings up to $20,000.
|
What does this mean to you. For example, if you earn $10,000 during your stay in Australia, the difference in tax paid to the ATO is as follows:
BEFORE:
gross wage of $10,000, you paid $700 tax = you got $9300 in your hand
NOW: $10,000, you pay $2900 tax = you get $7100 in your hand
