Things to know

Your working holiday maker net income is the income you earned or derived while you were on a 417 or 462 working holiday visa, less deductions relating to earning that income.

The first $37,000 of your working holiday maker net income is taxed at 15%. All other income is taxed according to your residency status.

If your income includes lump sum or employment termination payments and is:

  • less than or equal to $37,000, you won't receive an 'employment termination payment or unused leave tax offset' on those payments
  • more than $37,000, the amount will be taxed according to your residency status.
