During the 2016 and now the 2017 tax year I worked in China as an Australian resident.

For my 2016 tax return I was given a tax bill of $27,000 as the tax I paid in China did not cover what would be owed in Australia.

For 2017 tax return, I earned $51,000 in China and paid $21,000 in tax to China. (Paying about $12,000 more than I would have had to pay in Australia).

Will the Australian government recognise this and give me a credit towards my tax bill?

Thank you

Hi Nick,

I would give the ATO a call and run it past them. They are usually responsive to phone calls in a reasonable time frame and seem knowledgable.

Cheers.
