作为海外工作的澳大利亚居民，在离境前了解税务义务至关重要。澳大利亚税务局（ATO）要求无论你在哪里获得收入，都可能有纳税义务。
教育与培训支持贷款
如果您持有高等教育学习或培训支持贷款，在海外工作期间仍需履行还款义务。这一义务不会因您所在地点而暂停或改变，因此请将还款计划纳入海外财务规划中。
申报境外及全球收入
作为税务居民，您必须在纳税申报中申报所有境外及全球收入——即使您已在收入来源国缴纳过税款。这包括：
- 在另一国取得的外事服务收入
- 免税的海外就业收入（澳大利亚税务局会利用此信息计算你的应税收入税款）
当您在另一国就境外收入缴纳了税款后，可能有资格申请境外所得税抵免，以避免双重征税。
海外纳税申报指南
在国外管理税务义务最简单的方法是在线申报。如果您拥有与澳大利亚税务局（ATO）关联的myGov账户，即可随时随地登录访问：
- 准备并提交您的税务申报单
- 管理并检查您的养老金
- 更新您的联系方式并管理其他税务义务
- 双边社会保障协定
在你离开前，请确认澳大利亚与你前往的目的地国家是否签订了双边社会保障协议。澳大利亚与多个国家维持此类协议，它们将影响你在海外工作期间的养老保障缴费及权益。

As an Australian resident working overseas, understanding your tax obligations before you leave is crucial. The Australian Tax Office (ATO) has specific requirements that apply to you, regardless of where you earn your income.
Education and Training Support Loans
If you have a higher education study or training support loan, you remain obligated to repay it while working overseas. This obligation doesn't pause or change based on your location, so factor repayments into your financial planning abroad.
Declaring Foreign and Worldwide Income
As an Australian resident for tax purposes, you must declare all foreign and worldwide income in your tax return—even if you've already paid tax in the country where you earned it. This includes:
- Foreign service income earned in another country
- Exempt foreign employment income (the ATO uses this information to calculate your tax on taxable income)
When you've paid tax on foreign income in another country, you may be eligible to claim a foreign income tax offset to avoid double taxation.
Filing Your Tax Return from Overseas
The simplest way to manage your tax obligations while overseas is to file online. If you have a myGov account linked to the ATO, you can access it from anywhere to:
- Prepare and lodge your tax return
- Manage and check your superannuation
- Update your contact details and manage other tax obligations
Bilateral Social Security Agreements
Before you leave, check whether Australia has a bilateral social security agreement with your destination country. Australia maintains these agreements with several nations, and they can significantly affect your superannuation contributions and entitlements while you're working abroad.
