I work overseas and have private health insurance there, I have a HELP debt, and I am not presently a tax resident. My wife lives and works in Australia. My wife is going to get private health insurance to avoid paying the medicare levy surcharge. She will get private health insurance, the question is does she need to pay for me to get health insurance, so that I do not pay this surcharge also, when I lodge and presumably may something towards my HELP? What things do I need to worry about / not worry about when lodging as a foreign tax resident with a HELP debt?
What exactly do I lodge? The tax year where I live ends December 31 and I have only earned a relatively small amount to that date (which I lodged in my residing country). What amount do I lodge for my income in Australia, do I need to add the last 6 months of income.
