I have put some information on my web-site dealing with tax rates for residents and
non-residents for tax purposes (not for immigration purposes).

-most of this informtion is sourced from the Australian Taxation Office
http://members.dingoblue.net.au/~imm...financial_issu es.html

An additional consideration when deciding whether you nominate in your tax file
number application that you are a resident or non-resident for tax purposes is the
ability of a non-resident for tax purposes to receive (in certain circumstances) a
living away from home allowance benefits from their employer.

This is the ability for an employee to receive an allowance from their employer
to compensate them for additional expenses or disadvantages suffered because
the employee has to live away from their usual place of residence for
employment purposes.

The payment is not taxable as income. It is subject to fringe benefits tax but only
where the payment exceeds what the tax office considers as a reasonable compensation
for accomodation/and or food in certain circumstances. It can be compensation for the
whole family of the non-resident (for tax purposes).

Are there any accountants/tax lawyers or non-residents with first hand knowledge who
can shed some more light on the living away from home allowance?
