australia has tax agreements with 47 different overseas countries, which ''generally'' allow someone to consider the tax paid in that other country as FINAL, ALL TAX PAID, END OF STORY.

if however you have income from other than those 47, and have paid tax on it, you show that amount of tax paid on your return, then make up the difference for australian tax.

all of that is on the assumption you remain an australian resident for tax, and not classify YOURSELF as a foreign resident - see http://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/content.asp?doc=/content/25683.htm&pc=001/002/046/004&mnu=1045&mfp=001/002&st=&cy=1


this is a questionaire to determine whether you are a resident of aust for tax.


or alternatively ring the tax office.
