Tax on Working Holiday visa in 2013 - 14

[#1]

Hello. 

My son (from UK) worked in Australia from March to June 2014 and had tax witheld. I realise that 15% is now charged on such workers but I also understand that this did not apply to the dates my son worked there and that he should be able to claim a refund. Is that correct?

All depends on how much he earned and how much tax he paid.

He may have not paid enough tax or exactly the right amount so there would be no refund and maybe a debt.

What visa did he arrive on?

I'm pretty sure it was a working holiday visa. He worked for 4 months or less and left Australia before end of Tax year 13-14. He earned less than $6,000 and about $600 tax was witheld.
