Temporary Residents

Temporary residents are required to pay taxes on income earned in Australia. The Tax Shop can help you determine whether you qualify as a temporary resident for tax purposes.

Eligible temporary residents are also able to access their retirement savings (superannuation) upon permanent departure from Australia or, in limited circumstances, when they reach preservation age in Australia.

Check below for more details.

• Working Holidaymakers
  If you have come to Australia with the intention of working and travelling, you will find that you will need to lodge a tax return.
• International Students
  If you have come to Australia to study and have enrolled in a course that runs for more than 6 months, you may be classed as a resident for tax purposes.
• Overseas Travel Obligations
  If you live and work overseas and have a Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) or Trade Support Loan (TSL) debt, The Aussie Tax Shop UK can help.
• Superannuation
  Whilst working in Australia, your employer has to pay your superannuation on your behalf. Once you leave Australia permanently you are able to lodge a claim to get that super back.
