Yes, even though you may not have permanent residency or citizenship in Australia, you will still be treated as an Australian resident for tax purposes. Remember, tax residency differs from immigration residency, so don’t let this confuse you. If you are an Australian resident for tax purposes, you can claim the Tax-Free Threshold, which is $18,200. You are eligible to claim it from this payer if one of the following conditions applies:

• You are not currently claiming the tax-free threshold from another payer.
• You are already claiming the tax-free threshold from another payer, but your total income from all sources is expected to be less than $18,200.
