A temporary Resident Visa 500 has LLC distributions from USA. Will those be part of his Australian Income Tax Return?
He has income from two LLC, in one he has 40% share and is not involved in any way in the day-to-day operations.
In the other, he has 99% share and is involved in the day-to-day operations.
Hi @Hashmeet,
The LLC distributions being reported in his Australian income tax return, depends on his tax residency status and the classification of the LLCs.
If he's an Australian resident for tax purposes, he'd normally declare his worldwide income, including foreign income from both LLCs. The distributions would need to be converted to Australian dollars and included in his return.
However, if he's classified as a temporary resident, the tax treatment is different. A temporary resident only needs to declare:
Other foreign income, including LLC distributions, generally don't need to be declared by temporary residents unless it falls into specific categories.
The level of involvement in the LLCs (40% passive ownership vs 99% active involvement) may also affect how the income is classified and taxed, particularly if the LLCs are considered controlled foreign companies.
He should determine his exact residency status for tax purposes and consider whether the LLCs might be classified as controlled foreign companies. This will determine the Australian tax obligations.
