For Australian tax purposes, a person may be considered a resident of Australia, despite:

• living permanently abroad, if the individual intends to return to Australia and visits Australia
• for part of the year as part of the regular order of their life. 

Conversely, a person may also be considered a resident of Australia if they maintain a home in Australia

where their family lives and where they spend time while in Australia, even though they are absent from the country for large parts of the year (e.g. a pilot, ship’s captain or contract worker).

The next test is generally referred to as the constructive residence or 183-day test.

Under this test, residence in Australia is attributed to a person who is actually present in Australia,

whether continuously or intermittently, for a total period of more than half the year of income (1 July to 30 June),

unless it can be established the person’s usual place of abode is outside Australia and that there is no intention to take up residence here.
