Found this link on the ATO website. Hope it helps. It's a tool which will help you know if you are liable for tax or not.

Otherwise, the legislation can be found in the following link:
http://law.ato.gov.au/atolaw/view.htm?docid=ITR/IT2650/NAT/ATO/00001
Point 23 & 27 on the above link is worth reading.
But then - just to confuse you......... http://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/content.asp?doc=/content/28908.htm
So - the way I understand it is: we are working >91 days in 'foreign service', therefore we are exempt from tax. However, for the purposes of the tax return we are still deemed to be and Australian Resident for tax purposes.
Is that how you all understand it?
