Hi All,

I'm new resident here, so is currently looking to file my first tax return.

I made my first entry to Aus as PR on April 2016, stay for few days and returned home country Malaysia to continue work until mid Jan 2017.
And i started my first job in Aus around mid of Fen 2017 and registered TFN at the same time.

I wonder do i need to declare my employment income from home country dated July 2016 to mid Jan 2017?

Thanks all in advanced.

Regards,
Lee

AFAIK, no. You were not resident in the country for that period. Do keep a copy of your tax returns from your current country, as well as air ticket receipts, to prove country of residence. This is one of the reasons why it's NOT a good idea to file for TFN on validation trips (I note you didn't.

Hi zaback21, thanks for your suggestion. I did check their website, but their information is just not detailed enough to address my situation.
