    Australia Overview 2018-19 Individual Income and Social Taxes Gaining an understanding of the tax system in a new country is a critical step in addressing risks and reducing costs for companies with mobile employees. This overview summarizes key individual income and social tax compliance and tax planning considerations for companies sending employees to work in Australia. Individual income tax overview A resident of Australia is subject to Australian income tax on worldwide income at graduated tax rates that range up to 45% of taxable income. A temporary resident (defined below) is not taxed on their foreign investment income or capital gains. A non-resident of Australia is subject to Australian income tax only on Australian source income at graduated rates ranging from 32.5% to 45%. Residency A person is generally a resident of Australia if the person is domiciled in Australia or spends more than 183 days in Australia during the tax year. Domicile is the person’s permanent home (where they intend to live permanently). Individuals holding a Temporary Skills Shortage visa (i.e., subclass 482) are classified as temporary residents if they meet the following criteria: • they do not meet the definition of residency for Australian social security purposes (e.g., not a citizen, permanent resident), and • the taxpayer’s spouse is also not a resident of Australia for social security purposes. A visitor is a non-resident if they intend and actually spend less than 183 days in Australia. Available tax treaties should be considered in cases of dual-residence.
