The ATO says to use these rates if you have working holiday maker income and are a foreign resident, or an Australian resident who is not from a non-discriminatory article (NDA) country, on a 417 or 462 visa.
At the time of checking the ATO page had no 2026-27 table, so this tool stops at 2025-26.
Not included: superannuation, tax-free thresholds for other visa types, and any refund or debt after your tax return. Use the ATO calculators for your own assessment.
