16    Foreign sourced income

The 3 methods for working out a person’s foreign‑sourced income

 (1) For the purposes of subsection 47B(2) of the Act, the following are the methods for working out a person’s foreign‑sourced income for the 2016‑17 income year or a later income year:

 (a) the simple self‑assessment method (see subrules (5) and (6));

 (b) the overseas assessed method (see subrules (7) and (8));

 (c) the comprehensive tax‑based assessment method (see subrule (9)).

Note 1: Foreign‑sourced income is relevant to working out the person’s assessed worldwide income for section 47B of the Act.

Note 2: Subrule (8) restricts when the overseas assessed method can be used.

 (2) The method to be used to work out the person’s foreign‑sourced income for the income year is the method that the person chooses, as stated in the notice given to the Commissioner under subsection 47C(3) of the Act, relating to the person’s income for the income year.

 (3) However, if the person does not choose one of the methods in that notice, the simple self‑assessment method (see subrule (5)) may be used to work out the person’s foreign‑sourced income for the income year.

 (4) The person cannot choose more than one of the methods for the same income year.

The simple self‑assessment method

 (5) Under the simple self‑assessment method, the person’s foreign‑sourced income for the income year is an amount equal to the difference between:

 (a) the total amount of all the person’s income for the income year, other than ordinary income or statutory income that has an Australian source; and

 (b) the standard deduction for the income year for the occupation in which the person derived the most income (other than ordinary income or statutory income that has an Australian source) for the income year.

 (6)  For paragraph (5)(b), the standard deduction for an occupation is:

(a)     if the occupation has an occupation code listed in the ATO Occupation Code—the median ratio of work-related expenses to employment-related income calculated by the Australian Taxation Office for the occupation with that occupation code; or

(b)     otherwise—nil.

The overseas assessed method

 (7) Under the overseas assessed method, the person’s foreign‑sourced income for the income year is an amount equal to the person’s income for taxation purposes according to the most recent assessment of the person’s income, for a period of 12 months, by a taxation authority of a foreign country.

 (8) However, the overseas assessed method cannot be used to work out the person’s foreign‑sourced income for the income year if:

 (a) the period to which that most recent assessment relates does not overlap with the income year; or

 (b) taxation authorities from different foreign countries have each made assessments of the person’s income for periods of 12 months that overlap with the income year; or

 (c) that most recent assessment has already been used to work out the person’s foreign‑sourced income for a previous income year.

The comprehensive tax‑based assessment method

 (9) Under the comprehensive tax‑based assessment method, the person’s foreign‑sourced income for the income year is an amount equal to the difference between:

 (a) the total amount of all the person’s income for the income year, other than ordinary income or statutory income that has an Australian source; and

 (b) the total amounts of the deductions that would be allowable under the income tax law if that income were assessable income.

Translation of foreign currency

 (10) For the purposes of subsection 47B(2) of the Act, convert an amount of a person’s foreign‑sourced income for an income year that is in a foreign currency by translating the foreign currency to Australian currency at the average exchange rate for the financial year most closely corresponding to the income year.

Expressions used in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997

 (11) An expression used in this rule that is also used in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 has the same meaning as in that Act.

17   Notices to be given to the Commissioner

Notices relating to leaving Australia

 (1) A notice under subsection 47C(1) of the Act relating to a person leaving Australia must contain:

 (g) if the overseas assessed method was used—the person’s identification number used for tax purposes by the taxation authority of a foreign country that made the assessment of the person’s income.

 (5) However, paragraphs (4)(d) to (g) do not apply if:

 (a) the person’s income (including foreign‑sourced income) for the income year does not exceed 25% of the minimum repayment income for the income year; and

 (b) the notice includes a declaration to that effect.

Note: Minimum repayment income is defined in section 5 of the Act.

 (6) This rule does not affect the Commissioner’s power under section 388‑50 in Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953 to require additional content to be included in the approved form of a notice under section 47C of the Act.

Expressions used in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997
