Hi, NZ citizen who is working in Australia in agriculture for 2 months before returning home to NZ (was in NZ before 2 months began), getting taxed 32.5% and unsure if I will be able to claim it back lot of information out there lots of it conflicting. Will I need to file an Australian tax return using my tfn or just a NZ tax return? Any help much appreciated
Hi @Chris8192
If you’re not an Australia resident for tax purposes and you’ve received any Australian income, you must declare this in an Australian tax return and you don’t need to declare any of your foreign sourced income.
This is just if you're on any other visa then a working holiday maker visa.
There are different rules If you’re on a working holiday maker visa.
You may not need to lodge a tax return all together.
If this applies to you check out our further info on WHM visas and lodging a tax return.
