    Second, you said:

    "Using the tax calculator someone posted the link for here,it seems that if i claim resident in Oz for 1 month of the year,i get the tax free threshold and pay the medicare levy."

    There are certain conditions that you need to satisfy before you become a "resident" for income tax purposes. I don't think you can become a resident for tax purpose by deciding for yourself that you are going to "claim resident in Oz for 1 month of the year ..", it is not that simple :-)

    Also, there is residency for income tax purposes and there is residency for immigration purposes, both of which have different qualifying requirements. Do not get the two confused; they are not the same.

    It will be in your best interest to seek professional advice.

    All the best.
