OhSpareMe, All I can say is you are not the arbitraitor of all things tax, the ATO is for australians.
This is a never ending circle with you. I actually want to believe your way of thinking, but in some cases it ain't the truth. For everyone out there that reads this then talk to the ATO. Get a ruling.
If you don't and you end up paying aussie tax, then the line " OhSpareMe told me that I wouldn't have to pay" just won't cut it.
404titan, All i can say is what the ATO said, that if you are directly payed by Q you will pay aussie tax, as your income is derived from Australia. Setting up a Singas based company will get a round that, but then it raises the issue of paying superannuation.
If anyone wants to find out for themselves rather than taking the advice from plonkers like me on proon then ring the ATO.
