Dear Registered Migration Agent,

The Turnbull Government today announced it will undertake a review of the broad range of issues affecting the supply and taxation of working holiday maker 417 and 462 visas, the Minister for Small Business and Assistant Treasurer, Kelly O’Dwyer MP said. 

To provide for further consideration of these issues, the Commonwealth will defer the commencement of the previously announced changes to treat all working holiday makers as non-residents for tax purposes from July 1 for six months, pending the outcome of the review process,” Minister O’Dwyer said.

“The Government has listened to issues raised by stakeholders about workforce challenges faced by industries in regional and rural areas and how the taxation arrangements for Working Holiday Maker visa holders potentially affect industries such as agriculture and tourism.
