不可以。他们至少要有临居或是永居才可以。

那人讲说  她爸妈来了WITH TOURIST VISA就这么退了

It is a problem which has been discussed many times.

A lot of confusion even from ATO's web site.

不可以

ato写得很轻很清楚

vistor的签证，不能作为offset

ATO

理论上不可以，实际上我们一直不来查的，换句话说我们认可

you can't claim, refer to the tax pack , it says" visitors cannot claim, only residents for tax purposes can"

不可以

税法上的resident和移民法中的resident定义不同，只要居住满6个月，无论何种签证，都算residents for tax purposes。

个人以为只要在澳洲连续居住了181天都算australian resident for tax purpose.
届时回国了一直是算作ceased to be an australian resident for tax purpose。
换句话说，还是可以免的，具体数额看在澳洲待了多少天来定

ATO's website has a tool (see link below).  You can use the tool to determine if you or your parents are "Australian Resident for Tax Purpose".

As mentioned before ATO uses a standard to determine Australian Resident and the standard is different to the one used  by DIMIA or Centrelink.  Generallly speaking if one has lived in Austalia continuously for more than 6 months than he/she is regarded as "Australian Resident for tax purpose".  My understanding is that in this case Tax Offset is applied.

E tax 的help里是这么说的:
Generally, the Tax Office considers you to be an Australian resident for tax purposes if:

●
you have always lived in Australia or you have come to Australia and live here permanently

●
you have been in Australia continuously for six months or more and for most of that time you worked in the one job and lived at the same place, or

●
you have been in Australia for more than half of the income year 2007-08 – unless your usual home is overseas and you do not intend to live in Australia.
按照第2个说法,除了要满足6个月的条件,还得要工作,那父母探亲是不能工作的吧,那就不算了.
按照第3个说法,usual home 是overseas,而且也不打算住在澳洲,也就不算了.

好象也有道理哈?我决定今天打个电话给ATO 问问看. 有什么回复再通知大家. 祝我好运吧.
