Personal Income Tax

Income tax on personal income is a progressive tax. The current tax-free threshold is AUD6,000 and the highest marginal rate for individuals is 45% (plus medicare levy).

As with many other countries, income taxes are withheld from wages and salaries in Australia, often resulting in refunds payable to taxpayers. A nine-digit Tax File Number must be quoted to employers for employees to have withholdings calculated using the various tax brackets. In the absence of this number employers are required to withhold tax at the highest marginal rate from the first dollar. Likewise, banks must also withhold the highest marginal rate of income tax on interest earned on bank accounts if the individual does not provide their tax file number to the bank.

Low Income Tax Offset
The Low Income Tax Offset is an offset applicable in full for those earning up to $30,000. Since the 2008-09 Budget it provides low income earners with a tax rebate of up to $1200.

The rebate phases out for those earning over $30,000 at 4c for every dollar of taxable income over $30,000. Thus the threshold ends at $60,000. The LITO affects the amount of income per child that can be diverted to children through family trusts. The LITO creates an effective tax-free threshold of $14,000 for low income earners, but an increased effective marginal tax rate (EMTR) for middle income earners (an increase of 4% in the effective marginal tax rate for incomes up to $60000 per annum).

if this post discouraging? then what can i do since this is the real fact & true informations...as i believe that this information will give first hand informations to our kabayan who are enquiring, which i don't think nothing wrong to know the real information...

it's not about which country is the best to live, what we're trying to do here is to give real fact & true informations...not self-centered informations...

I guess moving to any foreign country has its risks. The best thing to do is to be as prepared as possible. The information both of you have shared with us has been helpful (minus the personal attacks that is ).

Im a dual citizen, Aus and PH, hoping to migrate middle of the year. Once Im there I can judge for myself how easy or difficult it is to land a job in Aus. Lady_blackrose I dont think there will be a problem with my english proficiency for english is my first language. I just like to know if call center jobs are readily available in Aus. Many of my call center officemates yearn for an opportunity to move and work down under.
