In Australia, tax laws for immigrants depend on whether you are classified as a foreign resident or a temporary resident for tax purposes. Here are the key points:

Foreign Residents

Income Declaration: You must declare any income earned in Australia, including employment income, rental income, Australian pensions, and capital gains on Australian assets1.

Tax-Free Threshold: You are not entitled to the tax-free threshold, meaning you pay tax on every dollar of income earned in Australia2.

Medicare Levy: You do not pay the Medicare levy1.

Interest, Dividends, and Royalties: You do not need to declare Australian-sourced interest, dividends, or royalties if the Australian financial institution or company has already withheld tax1.

Temporary Residents

Income Declaration: You only need to declare income derived in Australia and some income from employment or services performed overseas while you are a temporary resident1.

Foreign Income: Other foreign income and capital gains do not need to be declared1.

Exemptions: Temporary residents are generally exempt from Australian tax on foreign-source investment income and capital gains on assets that are not taxable Australian property2.

General Information

Tax Year: The Australian tax year runs from 1st July to 30th June, with tax returns due by 31st October2.

Tax Rates: Australian tax residents generally pay a lower rate of tax compared to foreign tax residents2.
