- Korea and Australia — taxed twice on the same income? The treaty and double tax
Korea and Australia have a tax treaty that stops the same income being taxed twice. The key is three things — your tax residency, the type of income, and the foreign tax credit. It isn't automatic, though: in most cases you report in both countries and the credit adjusts for it.
- Am I an Australian tax resident? — Korea, Australia, and when residency changes
Tax residency is decided by where you actually live, not your visa. Australia and Korea each have different tests, and if both treat you as a resident, Article 4 of the Korea–Australia tax treaty breaks the tie. CGT, dividend tax, super, reverse migration — every tax question starts with 'which country am I a resident of right now?'
