An Australian resident gives a foreign resident a lump sum. The foreign resident deposits the money in an Australian bank account which accrues interest. The ATO taxes the interest at 10%.
The foreign resident then gives the lump sum and the net interest back to the Australian resident as a gift.
The Australian resident does not declare this as income because he believes it is a one off tax-free gift.
Has the Australian resident submitted an accurate tax return?
