First tax return
I'm just doing my first tax return (a bit last minute , I know) having been here since the end of May as a permanent resident. As far as I can work out I became a tax resident at when I entered the country but I am unsure about whether I need to declare my salary from the UK which was earned and taxed prior to my entry into Australia. Otherwise I'd just be declaring a month or so of Australian salary and getting a part-year tax allowance - very straightforward. I have the same question for a retrospective family tax benefit application for the same short period.
Thanks,

have you checked the websites for the calculations for benefit? you can also use the ATO website calculator to get a calculation and check this against your tax return figure.
