You mean look for a remote Australia-based work while you're in the Philippines? That itself, as far as I know, wouldn't violate your visa. I did the same thing while waiting for my visa grant but couldn't proceed nga lang with any of the opportunities due to my pending visa (at the time). It can be hard to find a job that accepts offshore applicants without a visa on hand already but doesn't hurt to try.
Thank you, currently working offshore for australia-based, direct reporting din sa Australia bosses, pero yung tax and payroll ko dito sa outsourcing company sa PH. If ma-hire po ba ako direct sa AU employer, pero work remotely as offshore, ang tax ko ba nun is sa AU na babawas? Wala bang violation sa visa since hindi pa granted? Trying my luck lang na makahanap para may nag-aabang ng work pag-BM namin. Thanks again!
Hmmm tingin ko if ma-hire ka directly ng AU employer and you end up working remotely, ang magiging sistema ng payroll mo is sa PH bank account mo and ang tax declarations mo sa BIR pa rin diretso (depende na lang if the company chooses to hire you as contractor, so self-employed ka and you would need to declare tax yourself, or if may PH office yung company). Since wala ka pa naman sa AU/visa and wala ka pang TFN or other requirements to be eligible for taxation sa AU, I don't think sa AU system ang implications because technically you would be a Manila hire pa rin.
Usually naman, in my experience at least, at some point during the hiring process the overseas employer will talk to you about the admin stuff.
That's right. So long as one is part of a company in another country's payroll, there is no tax implications in AU. That is, one's money goes into, say, a PH bank account and shall be taxed there (read more on Double Tax Treaty).
Once onshore though, that's another story. Staying in a PH remuneration/rate isn't economical in the long run when living in AU at the top of it all. This is self-explanatory. And so, the option is just either cross-border internal company transfer if they have an AU counterpart or move on and look for another job to get paid in an AU bank account. Eventually, one will need a TFN or ABN if one chose to become a freelancer.
Take note though that this info is for outright PRs only.
For 491 holders, I am not too sure since I believe they are bound by a more defined set of rules when it comes to employment and eventual 191 requirement. I think they can enter into similar remote work arrangement so long as the get paid in AUD for the obvious tax obligations and live in a regional area. Just do the due diligence on this part.
