Australian expats could find it easier to argue they are non-residents for tax purposes following a new court ruling against the Australian Taxation Office suggesting that where you usually live is more important than your form of accommodation.
A senior associate at the firm, Murray Shume, was pleased the court had made clear that the concept of"permanent place of abode" was not about living in a specific type of accommodation, but rather the town or country a person lives in. He does not think this will open the flood gates for other taxpayers to argue they are non-residents, but it does provide greater taxpayers clarity on residency rules.
