Hi All
We have arrived in Australia on the 5th January, and my partner started work on the 28th January. We will have lived here just under 6 months by the time the new tax year comes
From what I read you are a resident for tax purposes if:
[TABLE=width: 1000]
[TR]
[TD]· have always lived in Australia or you have come to Australia to live permanently
· you have been in Australia continuously for six months or more, and for most of that time you worked in the one job and lived at the same place
· have been in Australia for more than six months of the income year (unless your usual home is overseas and you do not intend to live in Australia - for example, you are a working holiday maker)
· you go overseas temporarily and you do not set up a permanent home in another country, or
· are an overseas student enrolled in a course of study for more than six months duration.
[/TD]

[/TABLE]
We have moved to Adelaide to live permanently ( we are on a provisional 489 visa) and have no plans to go back, do we class ourselves as residents for tax purposes or as we wont have reached the 6 months by July will we be non residents this tax year?
Thanks sorry the more I read the more im confusinf myself :arghh:
