    Left Australia?Claim Your Super + Tax Return

    ALITAX's video library explains Departing Australia Superannuation Payment (DASP), Australian tax returns, PALM worker super and online document signing. Former temporary residents may claim eligible super after leaving Australia and their visa expires or is cancelled. A DASP claim is separate from a tax return; eligibility, withholding and fees depend on your circumstances.

    Continue secure application

    DASP is a super payment, not a tax refund. A tax return is assessed separately and may result in a refund or tax payable. ALITAX provides a written quote before any engagement. If agreed fees are deducted from a refund, the deduction is from the tax refund only, never super; any uncovered balance is payable upfront.

    Summary — not a transcript: Former temporary residents should consider their Australian super and tax position separately. DASP eligibility generally requires departure from Australia and an expired or cancelled temporary visa. A final tax return may produce a refund or an amount payable depending on your income, residency and withholding. ALITAX offers a free initial Tax & Super Check before you decide whether to engage the practice.

    PALM WORKERS LEAVING AUSTRALIA

    PALM Workers Leaving Australia: Claim Your Super + Tax Return

    Summary — not a transcript: PALM workers should check superannuation and tax separately when leaving Australia. DASP eligibility depends on immigration and departure conditions, while tax residency and the need to lodge a tax return depend on individual facts. Ask for an individual assessment rather than assuming all short contracts receive the same tax treatment.

    Open this video guide

    Worked in Australia under the PALM scheme? When you head home, there may be money you haven't claimed yet.

    This video covers the two things PALM workers may be able to claim back: your superannuation through the Departing Australia Superannuation Payment (DASP), which is separate from your final tax return, and your final tax return itself, including how tax residency status can apply if you had a short contract.

    Many workers leave Australia thinking everything is finished, but super can still be sitting in a fund and a final tax return may never have been lodged. ALITAX can help you review both separately. We provide a written quote before engagement; any agreed deduction is from a tax refund only, never super, and any uncovered balance is payable upfront.

    417 / 462 WORKING HOLIDAY VISA

    Changed from a 417 or 462 visa to another visa? How the 65% DASP tax can apply

    Summary — not a transcript: Under Australian tax law, if a DASP payment includes any super from your Working Holiday period, the whole taxable component is generally taxed at 65%, even if most of it was earned on a later visa. What matters is what ends up in the same payment. In an illustration, $15,000 paid out together could be taxed at 65%, leaving $5,250, while genuinely separate funds could leave $8,850 in total. This is an illustration, not a promise: fees, insurance, rollovers and contribution history all matter. ALITAX does not give financial product advice.

    Changed from a 417 or 462 Working Holiday visa to another visa, or getting ready to claim your super? Here’s how the 65% tax can apply.

    Most people think super earned on their new visa will be taxed at a lower rate when they claim it back. That’s not always the case.

    Under Australian tax law, if a DASP payment includes any super from your Working Holiday period, the whole taxable component is generally taxed at 65%, even if most of it was earned on your new visa. What matters is what ends up in the same payment.

    For example, say someone has fifteen thousand dollars in super: three thousand from a Working Holiday visa and twelve thousand from a Student visa. If it’s all paid out together, the whole amount can be taxed at 65%, leaving just $5,250.

    Now say those amounts were genuinely held in separate funds. The three thousand from the Working Holiday visa could still be taxed at 65%, leaving $1,050. But the twelve thousand from the Student visa could be taxed at the standard 35% rate, leaving $7,800. Together, that’s $8,850.

    This is an illustration, not a promise. Fees, insurance, rollovers and your contribution history all matter.

    So understand your DASP tax position early. For decisions about your super fund, speak to a licensed financial adviser. ALITAX doesn’t give financial product advice.

    As registered tax agents, we help you understand your DASP tax and assist with your claim. Visit super.alitax.com.au or send us a message.

    DASP and tax questions

    Can I claim Australian super after leaving Australia?

    Eligible former temporary residents can apply for DASP after leaving Australia and their temporary visa has expired or been cancelled. Australian citizens, New Zealand citizens and Australian permanent residents are generally not eligible for DASP. Check the ATO's eligibility rules for your circumstances.

    Is a DASP payment the same as a tax refund?

    No. DASP pays eligible superannuation and has its own withholding rules. A tax return reconciles Australian income, deductions and tax withheld. A tax refund is not guaranteed, and the two processes should be considered separately.

    How much tax is withheld from a DASP payment?

    The tax-free component has no DASP withholding. For ordinary eligible temporary residents, taxable taxed and untaxed elements are generally withheld at 35% and 45% respectively. Where the working holiday maker DASP rate applies, the taxable component is generally withheld at 65%. The ATO and your super fund determine the applicable treatment.

    Can PALM workers use the ALITAX Tax & Super Check?

    Yes. ALITAX can review a PALM worker's superannuation and Australian tax position. DASP eligibility, tax residency and any return requirements depend on the worker's individual circumstances; the check does not guarantee a refund.

    Is the initial Tax & Super Check free?

    The initial ALITAX Tax & Super Check is free and does not itself authorise lodgement. You receive the proposed fees and next steps before deciding. Any fee-from-refund arrangement uses the tax refund only, never super, and any uncovered balance may be payable upfront.
