question tax for non resident, page-15

I was a non resident for tax purposes for over 10 years

the reason why I was non resident was because I didn't want the income that I was earning overseas being taxed here

Most of my income came from divis and I didn't do hardly any buying and selling so not sure about whether capital gains is exempt

Any income I earnt here in australia was taxed at a much higher rate

I think you could still get franking credits though

also you could reduce your taxable income by contributing to super

So I used to reduce my tax by contributing to super so in instead of paying 30% in dollar you would pay 15%

However it is while since I did it.

why don't you ring the ato or if you are in sydney go to investor and traders conference

they have a stand at darling harbour
