How the 183-day rule works in Australia
Australia uses a complex residency test that considers domicile, 183-day presence, and ties to the country. The 183-day rule alone is not sufficient.
Multiple tests apply. Australia uses more than one test to determine tax residency. The 183-day rule is one factor, but other criteria may also apply.
If you exceed 183 days, Australia may tax your worldwide income as a tax resident. The exact consequences depend on your personal situation, any applicable tax treaties, and the type of income involved.
