Does an Australian PR living overseas have to file an Australian tax return?
Permanent residence in Australia for migration purposes and residence in Australia for tax purposes are entirely separate. It is possible to hold Australian PR and not be an Australian tax resident, and it’s also common for temporary residents to be liable for Australian tax. Only an Australian resident for tax purposes, or someone who has income sourced in Australia, may have to file for Australian tax.
