Hi
I'm looking to work for an Australian company, being paid by them with an Australian employment contract. But I don't have an Australian citizenship or visa and would be working oversees without wanting to go to Australia to work. Is this possible? If so, would I be eligible for Australian tax payments?
many thanks!
Amy
Hello @Amy321
Yes this is possible :)
The first thing you will need to do is obtain a Tax file number (TFN), as you will need to provide this to your Australian employer to ensure you are taxed correctly.
You will most likely need to lodge an Australian tax return at the end of the financial year and declare your Australian sourced income.
For more information, I recommend having a look at the following:

Hi @TonyATO
Thank you so much for your advice! Good to hear that it might be possible.
I saw another question with a situation the same as mine after I posted, where the answer says I would need a visa.
So now I'm a little confused with the conflicting advice!
many thanks
