Hello,


I am currently in Australia on a Working Holiday visa and have a question regarding the tax threshold reset at the end of the financial year (July 1st, 2024).


To provide some context, I started working on January 2nd, 2024, and as of June 26th, 2024, my gross salary has totaled $56,000.

Throughout this period, my employer has withheld taxes via the PAYG system. For the first $45,000 of my income, I was taxed at 15%, and for the income exceeding this amount, I have been taxed at 32.5%.


Could you please clarify whether the $45,000 tax threshold at the 15% rate resets to $0 at the beginning of the new financial year (July 1st, 2024)? Or should I continue to accumulate my taxable income from January 2024 onwards?


I have not been able to find any information online regarding whether the $45,000 tax threshold resets at the end of the financial year for Working Holiday Makers.


Many thanks,


Rayan

Hi @RayanTELATI


I hope you're enjoying your working holiday here!

The $45,000 threshold will reset with the financial year.


Starting from 1st July your tax rate will go back to 15% for the first $45,000 earned.

Hi there,

Building on Rayan's question above, does the $45,000 threshold reset with different employers? Given the rule for WH makers not to work for an employer for more than 6 months, how does a new employer know how much you've earned prior to joining their company? Presumably their automated payroll systems will apply the 15% tax rate for the first $45,000.

Thanks in advance!
