Translation (conversion) to Australian dollars

All foreign income, deductions and foreign tax paid must be translated (converted) to Australian dollars before including it in your return. There are rules about which exchange rate to use. Generally, these require amounts to be converted at the exchange rate prevailing at the time of a transaction, or at an average rate.

From 1 January 2020, we have used the exchange rates from the Reserve Bank of Australia. If you need daily foreign exchange rates, refer to Reserve Bank of Australia – Exchange ratesExternal Link. If you use a foreign exchange rate for currency not listed, you may use any reasonable externally sourced exchange rate for that currency.

Our general information on average rates provides more context and practical examples of applying general rates when converting currency.
