Foreign employment termination payments

Payment you received due to termination of your employment overseas.

Last updated 31 May 2012

An employment termination payment (ETP) that you received due to termination of your employment overseas is a foreign employment termination payment (foreign ETP):

  • where you were an Australian resident for the period of your employment
  • where the payment was exempt from income tax under that country's laws, and
  • whether or not your foreign employer has an Australian business number (ABN) or has given you a PAYG payment summary - employment termination payment.

Note: A foreign ETP is different from a foreign termination payment (FTP).
