Question

AnitaATO · Answer

That's right. A temporary resident won't pay tax on income they earn from another country. If you have a temporary visa and you or your spouse aren't an Australian resident then you're a temporary resident (https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/coming-to-australia-or-going-overseas/Your-tax-residency/Foreign-and-temporary-residents/#Temporaryresidents) for tax purposes. This means you will only declare: - income you derived in Australia - any income you earn from employment or services performed overseas while you a temporary resident of Australia. Any other foreign income doesn't need to be declared. You can read more information about when you are a temporary resident (https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Income-and-deductions/In-detail/Income/Foreign-income-exemption-for-temporary-residents/#Whenyouareatemporaryresident)on our website.
