jag Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hi people, I thought it might be useful to get a thread going on the above topic. My DH had a skype interview last night, and they told him what his salary would be on a temp visa 457. But never mentioned what it would be when we get our 176 visa through. I have looked up the tax websites but I am finding it so confusing. Any advice would be great on the differences between a 176 and a 457 visa. All comments welcome.

Guest MM Marc Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 The link below shows the tax rates for residents and non residents. At the top it says "residency - what you need to know". Resident for tax purposes is different than for immigration purposes. Simply put if you live in one place for 6 months then you are resident for tax purposes. So there should be no difference in tax on your pay! http://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/content.aspx?doc=/content/12333.htm&mnu=5464&mfp=001/002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jag Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hey, Thanks I seen this website, thanks its really good. However, the info on salary my DH received on his skype interview was based on a working holiday or 457 visa, that's why I was trying to figure out what his actual salary would be on a perm resident visa. any ideas on the differences of the two?

lebourvellec Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 There is a salary threshold for 457 visa - and they have to pay market rates. Not provisions for PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VickyMel Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 As above - the 457 is supposed to pay the equivalent rate to an Oz salary for the position. So it should be the same. Tax wise - I assume once you are registered for tax (be you temp or PR) I assume it would be the same rate. A place you might check out the going rate for the type of position your OH is in is to look at http://www.seek.com.au/ which is a job ad site and see what is being offered.

jag Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Someone I was recently speaking said that working holiday visa holders pay more tax..... So in was just looking into it. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Collett Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Working holidaymakers are generally taxed in Australia at non resident rates of income tax - but not always. By contrast, 457 visaholders who are living and working in Australia for at least 6 months are generally taxed at resident rates of tax. Best regards.
