What to know about Cross-Border tax accountants
Cross-border tax advice starts with one question: are you an Australian resident for tax purposes? The answer decides what Australia taxes, at what rates, and whether a treaty with another country limits either. It is a tax question, not an immigration one. The ATO does not use the Department of Home Affairs rules, so you can hold a visa and not be a tax resident, or be a tax resident without being a citizen or permanent resident.
