Greetings,
The ATO website seems clear: if I leave Australia permanently I become non resident for tax purposes on the day I leave.
While the situation is clear in Australia, the situation is very different in Italy, where returning citizens have to wait months before re-acquiring the residency (also the one for tax purposes). Given the grey period (for tax purposes) between leaving Australia and obtaining the residency in Italy, I have the following question: for what Australia is concerned, am I going to become non-resident on the day I leave the country in any case or there are excemptions to this rule?
If this is the case and Italy won't recognise my residency for a couple of months, I would be non-resident everywhere for some time, which sounds weird.
Thanks!
