Sorry to drag this one up again but I've been studying this and related posts and am still trying to get my head around it.
Say I am resident for tax purposes, ie house, wife & kids in Aus. But, I'm employed for an airline o/s. The airline is based in a country that has a dual taxation agreement with Aus. I manage to get maybe 8 (non-leave) days off per month in a block and I spend that time in Aus.
Do I:
1. Pay tax overseas only?
2. Pay tax overseas, claim it back and then pay tax to ATO, or
3. Pay tax overseas and then pay the difference between o/s and Aus tax to the ATO?
What happens if I am exempt from paying tax in the airline's base country because I spend most of my time out of that country on trips, which is the case? Do I then pay full tax to ATO?
I'm sure there are a lot of really smart guys out there who know how this works. Any advice hugely appreciated.
