International tax

Residents and non-residents have different tax rates.

  • A taxpayer who is a resident of Australia for income tax purposes is liable to tax on a worldwide income.
  • Non-residents are liable to tax only on income derived from Australian sources.

Whether you are a resident or non-resident of Australia for income tax purposes depends on your business entity.

What to do...

  • See the Australian Taxation Office's (ATO's) International Tax section for information on tax issues for resident and non-residents.
