Hello! Iโm an exchange student at Australia under student visa subclass 500. Iโm only going to be here for 6 months. And I currently have a casual work and I saw tax deduction when I got paid. I wonder if Iโm eligible to claim tax-free threshold.
Hey @monikaham442,
You could be eligible for a part-year tax-free threshold if you're here studying for 6 months or more & meet the requirements of being a tax resident of Australia.

what if my studying period is only 12 weeks however my exchange program and visa last 6 months because I have a 6 months housing contract, am I still eligible?
Hi @monikaham442,
Sure, that's what we meant. ๐
Is your student visa and exchange program valid for 6 months.
Yes my student visa is valid for more than 6 months
