Some important info here

Especially about the residency status. It can help you lower your taxes with a tax-free threshold.

While most international students are considered as residents for tax purposes in Australia but it is still a good idea to check your residency status with free ATO's tool.

Check the link in stories for the direct link for that.

Make sure you understand your tax obligations as penalties apply for late lodgement and incorrect information.

📢 The Australian government has substantially increased the visa applicant fee from $710 to $1600.

💰 This major increase means that prospective students will have to pay 125% more for a non-refundable visa application fee starting on July 1, 2024.

📰 In a media release by the Minister of Home Affairs, it was stated:
“The changes coming into force today will help restore integrity to our international education system, and create a migration system which is fairer, smaller, and better able to deliver for Australia.”

📈 The government plans to fund several initiatives with the increased fees, including:

FEE-Free Uni Ready courses for local students
Financial support for apprentices and their employers
Other migration reforms
❗ The move has been widely criticized by educational institutions, student associations, and industry groups.

🛂 The Temporary Graduate Visa fee has also increased to $1920, and the visitor visa fee has risen from $475 to $490.
