These rates apply to individuals who are not Australian residents for tax purposes.

It is important to remind you that you are an Australian resident for tax purposes if:

■ you have always lived in Australia or you have come to Australia and live here permanently
■ you have been in Australia continuously for six months or more, and for most of that time you worked in the one job and lived at the same place
■ you have been in Australia for more than six months during 2012-13, unless your usual home is overseas and you do not intend to live in Australia
■ you go overseas temporarily and you do not set up a permanent home in another country, or
■ you are an overseas student who has come to Australia to study and are enrolled in a course that is more than six months long.
If you do not satisfy at least one of the above conditions you cannot be considered an Australian resident for tax purposes and so the following rates will apply. Foreign residents are not required to pay Medicare levy.
