How Tax Residents pay taxes in Australia: A complete guide

Here we explain how you should pay taxes depending on the income you generate during the financial year, if you meet the requirements to be this type of taxpayer. 

If you have worked legally in Australia with a visa or work permit, the first question you should ask yourself is: Am I a tax resident in Australia?

To answer this question, we must take into account several requirements: 

• You have always lived in Australia, or you came later but were granted a permanent resident visa. 

• You came to Australia, or while being here, you were granted a different visa than a Work and Holiday (this includes Covid Visa and Nil-back obtained after a Work & Holiday). 

The next step is to understand how your taxes are calculated. This will depend on the level of income you generate during the fiscal year. 

Advice: If you are a tax resident in Australia, it is important to understand your tax obligations based on income brackets. Make sure you meet the residency requirements and calculate your taxes correctly to avoid potential debts when filing your Tax Return.
