I think you need to do your homework sunshine. I am very well aware Australia has a tax treaty with Singapore but that doesn’t stop the ATO taxing you at appropriate Australian tax rates if they determine you to be an Australian resident for tax purposes and then giving you a credit for the tax paid in Singapore after you have paid the full Australian tax. These contracts and the pay scales that J* have offered are based on not paying Australian tax. That assumption in my opinion as an accountant is a false one which may end up costing those that go up there dearly.
