457 TAX-WORKING AWAY FROM HOME!?
HI GUYS,
I VE BEEN WORKING IN CAIRNS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS ON THE SUBCLASS 457 TEMPORARY WORKING VISA, I AM JUST ABOUT TO DO MY TAX RETURN AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT YOU CAN GET A LOT OF TAX BACK AS I AM WORKING AWAY FROM HOME??! IS THIS TRUE?
THANKS

Are you referring to the Living away from home allowance (LAFHA)? This has to be negotiated with your employer.
