求助！这种情况到底算不算tax resident?

annie729

澳洲国籍，三年内没回国澳洲，在澳洲只有一项房租收入。这种情况能不能报tax resident呢？如果报non-resident的话，税率很高呀！
查了一下网上关于Australian resident for tax purposes的定义，最后一条是：
you have 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.

好像可以算这条？ 求高人解答！加分感谢！

Do you have some relatives in Australia?
for example, parents, wife and children.
if your wife and children are in Australia, you can argue you are still Australian Resident.
more likely, you are non resident

IN YOUR CASE, YOU'D BETTER TO SAY YOU ARE NON RESIDENT.
IF YOU ARE NON RESIDENT, YOU ONLY PAY TAX ON YOUR AUSTRALIAN INCOME.
IF YOU ARE RESIDENT, YOU HAVE TO PAY THE TAX ON YOUR AUSTRALIAN INCOME PLUS YOUR FOREIGN INCOME.

感谢ls的详细解答！能不能再给解释一下什么是has your australian income had non-resident withholding tax deducted? 是不是只有利息收入就不用报税了？

SOME BANK WILL WITHHOLD SOME TAX, WHEN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT GENERATE INTERESTS.
IF YOUR BANK WITHHELD TAX, THEN YOU DO NOT NEED TO LODGE A TAX RETURN.
