Victoriaelizaj Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I have just arrived in Australia on a WHV and plan to stay and work in Sydney for the next year. For this reason I am classifying myself as a resident (until the new rules kick in 1/7/2016). I'm just unsure as to how the tax works given I have just arrived late into the financial year. Will I not pay any tax unless i reach the threshold of 18,200? Or will I pay tax and then get a tax rebate? Clarification on this would be much appreciated! Thank you! :cute: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 You are not going to be a resident for tax purposes unless you work more than 6 months in a job, which you couldn't do before your second visa. Tax is worked out as if you work the full year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
