I live in Australia but I'm not a resident for tax purposes. I would like to invest in shares/ETFs using an Australian trading platform. Is that possible? If so, how will my CGT get taxed? Would I be eligible for a tax return?
Hi @monicacarla
Yes, it's possible. The CGT is based on the marginal tax rate relevant to the income tax return you'll lodge. If you dispose of or a CGT event occurs. Generally, as a foreign resident wont need to declare any amounts of Australian sourced dividends provided the company withholds tax.
