DASP Superannuation Refund for Departing Residents

What Is the Departing Australia Superannuation Payment (DASP)?

The Departing Australia Superannuation Payment (DASP) is a refund of the superannuation you earned while working in Australia on a temporary visa, which you can claim once you have permanently left the country and your visa has expired or been cancelled. ALITAX, a registered Australian tax agent (No. 25287564), lodges your DASP claim with the ATO and your super funds — with no upfront cost. As of 2026, working holiday makers (subclass 417/462) are taxed at 65% on DASP, while other temporary residents are generally taxed at 35% on the taxed element. The ATO typically pays a complete DASP claim within 28 days. ALITAX is rated 4.9/5 by 150+ clients worldwide. (Source: Australian Taxation Office, ato.gov.au. Last updated June 2026.)

Who Can Claim DASP?

• Temporary visa holders who have left Australia permanently
• Working holiday visa (subclass 417/462) holders
• Student visa holders who have completed studies
• Former temporary residents whose visa has expired or been cancelled

DASP Requirements

To claim your superannuation, you must have departed Australia, your visa must have expired or been cancelled, and you must not be an Australian or New Zealand citizen or permanent resident. ALITAX verifies your eligibility and guides you through the process.

How Much Does ALITAX Charge for DASP?

ALITAX charges a fixed fee for DASP claims — not a percentage or commission on your refund. You'll always know the cost upfront, and where you're also due a tax refund, our fee can be deducted from it so there's nothing to pay out of pocket. ALITAX handles your entire DASP application, including locating all your super funds, completing ATO paperwork, liaising with super funds, and ensuring you receive the maximum refund.
