    Hi Alex,

    Which Visa are you on? If you’re in the country more then 183 of the financial year then you’re considered a resident for tax purposes ( Obviously visa dependant, but I assume you’re on the WHV?)

    So if you arrived on Nov 1st 2012, then you’d be a resident 😀

    Hope that helps mate.

    Cheers

    Thanks for the reply, I am on the working holiday visa but do intend to stay here permanently. I have been here over 6 months now. Arriving Jan 12 until June 30 is only a total time of 5 and a half months. So i am a few days short of that one.

    Actually I was told if you arrive in January you may be ok, it’s a grey area so you may need to contact your Tax Agent 🙂

    Cheers and Good Luck
