Who are working Holiday makers in Australia
If you work in Australia, tax will be withheld from your pay and you need to
lodge a tax return each year.

income is taxed at 15% and the balance is taxed at ordinary rates. Any income
you earned prior to 1 January 2017 will be taxed based on your residency (most
