in fact it's so shit it doesn't even give an option to be living overseas. Just an option to be returning to Australia. Seriously people deflect so easily to a bs argument that leads to nothing. Thinking they know everything.

@Duncan ******
that's just not true. The 183 day test is when ENTERING Australia to gain residency. It has nothing to do with losing it. Alas no questions were answered and nobody knows how you lost residency. I'll assume you didn't do the tax return to tick the box of being a resident so lost it.

@Baz ********
yeah I'd only have income in aus and would tick the box, so want to confirm there is no way I'd lose residency, no matter how long I'm overseas

perfect u can solve all our disagreements - I'm going to assume you either didn't file tax returns / had nothing in aus eg bank accounts property work $ ? But if you had that and ticked the box on tax return as being a resident you would still be one today?
