Expat Chat Episode 107 – When Does An Australian Expat Need To Lodge A Tax Return

Expat Chat Episode 107 – When Does An Australian Expat Need To Lodge A Tax Return?

 

Welcome to the one hundred and seventh episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat.

In today’s Expat Chat we talk about when does an Australian expat need to lodge a tax return.

There is a lot of conflicting information out there about this topic which causes the confusion amongst expats and the answer is that some Australians do need to lodge tax returns whilst others don’t.

Typically you are taxed in Australian on what is called Australian sourced income (for example rental income, termination payouts, deferred income from employer shares etc) so if you have earned this type of income you will have to lodge a tax return.
