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

Last updated 27 May 2013

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).
