Christiane Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 First, you have to check if you are a resident or non-resident for tax-purposes: https://www.ato.gov.au/Calculators-and-tools/Host/?anchor=AreYouAResident&anchor=AreYouAResident&anchor=AreYouAResident/questions#AreYouAResident/questions Then you can see how much tax you pay. It also depends on your income: https://www.ato.gov.au/Rates/Individual-income-tax-rates/?page=1#Foreign_residents This tool helps you to calculate your tax and your netto income: http://www.paycalculator.com.au/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collie Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Generally, people on a 457 are tax resident in Australia and will pay normal tax.+ the medicare levy (2%). Residency for tax and immigration are two very different things. it depends on your income but the scale is as follows 2016-2017 - 18,200 0% 18,201 - 37,000 19% 37,001 - 87,000 33% 87,001 - 121,680 37% 121,681 - 180,001 45% Medicare levy 2.0% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non residents pay tax at 32.5% on Australian source income such as rental income from let property in Australia. However, as others have said, it is probable that you are a resident of Australia for tax purposes, but can be taxed under the special provisions that apply to temporary visa holders. If you are buying a property in Australia watch for the change announced in the 2017 Federal Budget in respect of the CGT main residence exemption, and its withdrawal where non and temporary residents own a home in Australia.

Hey Alan, Are they going to start charging CGT on the PPR for temp residents? They really are screwing 457 holders, first school fees, now this.
