work from home on a 489 visa?

FrenchMilk · January 2016

Question, counted kaya ang work experience kung ang setup eh work from Home? Halimbawa, yung employer mo nasa ibang state ng australia pero ang residence mo ay nasa South Australia, ma co-consider ba sa valid work experience yun para makapag apply ng PR visa?

Yung current company ko kasi sa Philippines walang office sa SA. Ang office nila NSW and VIC lang.

Baka PR na kayo @fgs and @FrenchMilk

What about employers outside the country? Valid work pa din ba?

I am not so sure about this. I guessed your employer must be paying in your behalf income tax to the Au govt para maging valid yong work mo towards the req of 2 years fulltime work. Otherwise, pwede ka siguro kumuha ng ABN and as if online business mo yong pinagkikitaan mo from your offshore employer.

BTW got our citizenship 2 years ago :-)

wala nga lang nag confirm sa kanya pero pwede nga ganyan gawin. with the current virus situation, mas ok ang online work so I'm happy na may ganung option.

Now I just need to know more about this path and get some more online clients. May isa na ko pero mga 10 hours a week lang ang tasks eh.

Sir @fgs tanong lang po. How did you file your taxes? TIA

You file your income tax every year. Your employer deducts and pay the equiv taxes directly to tax ofc. If you have ABN, you can file and pay at the end of financial year.

@fgs thank you sir! sa case ko po kasi, US ang employer ko. And dahil sa AU acct ko pumapasok ang sweldo, kelangan ko pa rin ideclare yun as income, right? Would u know kung ilang % ang kelangan kong ideclare?
