Hi @Win41
Managed funds are not taxable Australian property. This means that when you stopped being a resident for tax purposes, the CGT event would usually happen at that time. When your residency changes, we say you've "disposed" of the CGT assets you hold that are not taxable Australian property.
However, you can choose to defer the taxing point to the earlier of either the day you become a resident again, or the time you actually sell the asset.
This means you'll need to make a choice on when the CGT disposal happens for the managed fund units.
You're correct about the dividend withholding being usually 15% for foreign residents. However, it's a final tax, so it doesn't get reported on your tax return even if you do need to lodge. This means your "claim a deduction for super contributions" won't change your tax paid on the dividends you receive.
You can read about how changing residency impacts CGT and interest, unfranked dividends and royalties for foreign residents on our website.
