Telecommuting for UK company whilst on WHV visa

[BenWestlake]

Hi all,

 

My girlfriend and I have both been granted working holiday visa's and have flights booked for 30th October flying into Melbourne.

 

My company are currently investigating the possibility of me working for them maybe 1 day per week remotely, but I am a little confused how this would work in ways of tax etc.

 

I understand that on the WHV visa we can work for 1 employer for 6 months, does this include UK companies? Also how does this work for tax? I would be being paid into my UK bank account, either as an employee of the company or as a contractor of a UK umbrella company.

 

Does any one else have any experience of this and how it works?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Ben
