Backpackers from eight countries will be able to save thousands of dollars after the Australian High Court ruled on Wednesday that the government’s tax on working vacation makers from these countries is unfair.
In December 2016, Australia legislated a backpacker tax that will see working holidaymakers charged a flat rate of 15% on incomes up to AU$37,000, a tax of AU$5,550, which is higher than that of native Australians.
