  • Part 3 – Resident of another country

    Use this part if you were a resident of a country other than Australia or Timor-Leste for tax purposes during 2005–06.

    What you need

    • All your payment summaries for the 2005–06 income year

    You need to know

    Your net income earned in the JPDA is taxed in Australia. You can claim a rebate of 90% of Australian tax payable on that income. Your payer should have withheld Australian tax on 10% of your JPDA income.

    What you need to do

    Show all your Australian income (including all JPDA income) and deductions as instructed by TaxPack 2006 or e-tax.

    Use one of the following worksheets to calculate your rebate. Use worksheet 4 if the only Australian income you had was JPDA income; otherwise, use worksheet 5.

    Example

    Gavin, a chef, was a resident of Malaysia for the whole year. His Australian taxable income was $80,000, of which $70,000 was JPDA income. Gavin had $100 of work-related expenses relating to his JPDA income. He has no other amount to show at item T15. Gavin uses worksheet 5 to calculate his JPDA offset.

    Gavin's JPDA tax offset is $20,320. He includes this amount at C item T15 on his tax return (supplementary section) and prints H in the claim type box at the right of C.
