Resident or non resident
Hi @Pri001
In a tax return, the tax residency status on a 482 Visa tax return could either be resident or non-resident. Therefore, one may be an Australian resident for tax purpose even if he/she is not an Australian citizen or a permanent resident for immigration purposes.
You will need to complete the residency test to determine if your are or are not a resident for tax purposes.
