So now you’ll be asking yourself, “Am I “a resident for Tax Purposes?

 
If you arrived in the country prior to or in January 2014 then you’re deemed a “resident for tax purposes, this means you’ll be taxed like any other Aussie and will receive the 18,000 tax free threshold. Therefore every dollar you’ve been taxed up until 18k, you’ll be entitled to it!
 
If you’re not a resident for tax purposes, then you’ll be required to pay 32.5% tax on every dollar you’ve earned while in the country! That’s a huge difference!
