As a non resident living in South Africa (which has a double tax treaty with Australia), do i pay tax on ASX share trading profits in South Africa or Australia?
Hi @Gregory50
If you're not a tax resident you'll only declare income that has an Australian-source.
When you say ASX share trading profits, can you provide some more info about how this looks so we have a better understanding?
If you were an investor and if your profits were capital gains, then you wouldn't need to declare that income here. Check out your residency status and CGT.
