你直接写信去问ATO需要报税与否,因为银行withhold了你的利息税,所以你需要claim回来的。
你住在中国,所以2012/13财年你不算Residency,下面是关于居民的定义:
Generally, you are an Australian resident for tax purposes if you have:
always lived in Australia
moved to Australia and live here permanently
been in Australia continuously for six months or more and for most of the time you have been in the one job and living in the same place, or
been in Australia for more than half of the financial year, unless your usual home is overseas and you do not intend to live in Australia.
Australian residents are generally taxed on their worldwide income whereas non-residents are generally taxed only on their Australian-sourced income.
你在澳洲的收入就是银行利息,因为银行扣了你的利息,所以You need to lodge a tax return for the 2012-13 income year because you have had tax withheld from income that you have received。
