Hide history noteSECTION 768-900 768-900 What this Subdivision is about
This Subdivision modifies the general tax rules for people in Australia who are temporary residents, whether Australian residents or foreign residents.
Generally foreign income derived by temporary residents is non-assessable non-exempt income and capital gains and losses they make are also disregarded for CGT purposes. There are some exceptions for employment-related income and capital gains on shares and rights acquired under employee share schemes.
Temporary residents are also partly relieved of record-keeping obligations in relation to the controlled foreign company rules.
Interest paid by temporary residents is not subject to withholding tax and may be non-assessable non-exempt income for a foreign resident.
