I'm an international student with SUBCLASS 500 visa. I've worked few hours during my stay. Received a small payment from my employer. Do I need to lodge tax returns before I leave the country and how to find out my eligibility on lodging tax returns . There were no withheld tax deductions from my payments.
Hi @Anomawj,
I'd recommend using our do I need to lodge a tax return tool to help you figure out if you need to lodge. You'll need to work out your tax residency as well.
If you do need to lodge, we have some information on how to lodge a tax return on our website. There are a few different options you can use. You may be eligible to lodge a tax return before leaving Australia, otherwise you can lodge from overseas.
