Who is a foreign resident for tax purposes?

A foreign tax resident is an individual or entity who is:

  • a United States citizen; or
  • a resident for tax purposes of any country other than Australia.

US citizens include:

  1. anyone born in the US; and

You will be asked to complete a self-certification when you open a new account or request certain services from us. You should consult a tax professional if you are unsure whether you are a foreign tax resident.
