Paying tax in Australia

Tax is paid by all employees and companies in Australia. There are criteria that determine your status as a taxpayer in Australia and this will impact the rate of tax you are required to pay. One the most significant factors is your residency status, which you can learn more about from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) website.

You may also wish to look at the ATO’s international tax site which can provide further information for both residents and non-residents who are earning income in Australia.

This ATO publishes the tax schedules for individuals and provides a useful tax calculator for estimating tax payable.
