Hi all,
My company hired a lady as an On-call Telehealth Nurse last December. She lived in Jordan since she was employed. And she isn’t an Australia’s tax resident.
I know if someone is a non-tax resident performing work overseas, the income should be deemed to be foreign-sourced (non-taxable). However, our payroll service provider kept withholding her tax as a foreign resident with the highest tax bracket until she requested us to fix this problem for her tax return recently. Her tax agent said we need to reverse this issue and reimburse her for the withheld tax.
All her withholding tax has been paid to ATO and our annual report file has been lodged with ATO.
I want to ask how to fix this issue and reclaim the withheld tax already paid.
Thank you.
