前年和去年父母来探亲，但去年报税时不知可以作为dependent申请offset,白白损失几千，今年可以补申请吗？税务局应可以查他们的出入境记录，如果问起来我可以解释是补去年的吗？谢谢回复！

如果你确定you are entitled to parent offset, 你需要AMEND去年的tax return, 不能加在今年的,

The tax rates that apply to your taxable income depend on whether or not you are an Australian resident. A higher rate of tax is applied to a non-resident's taxable income and non-residents are not entitled to a tax-free threshold.
The standards the Tax Office uses to determine your residency status are not the same as those used by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship or Centrelink.
Generally, we consider you to be an Australian resident for tax purposes if:
■
you have always lived in Australia or you have come to Australia and live here permanently
■
you have been in Australia continuously for six months or more and for most of that time you worked in the one job and lived at the same place, or
■
you have been in Australia for more than six months during 2008-09, unless your usual home is overseas and you do not intend to live in Australia.
■
you go overseas temporarily and you do not set up a permanent home in another country, or
■
you are an overseas students who has come to Australia to study and are enrolled in a course that is more than six months long.
Generally you will remain an Australian resident if you only travel overseas temporarily and you do not set up a permanent home in another country.
If you need help in deciding whether or not you are an Australian resident for tax purposes, you can go to our Are you a resident? tool on our website or phone the Individual Infoline.
Has your residency status changed?

我有朋友就报了，根据ＡＴＯ的解释应该是可以的。这与移民局的定义不一样。

这个问题我也想问。
在税务局的E-Tax 里，很明确的指出父母或亲戚只是以探亲名义来澳洲，作为子女是不能claim 费用或deduction的，因为他们不是Australian resident for tax purpose, 他们只是Visitor.
为了这个问题我咨询过鬼佬的会计师，他明确告诉我是不可以的。我又去问在会计师楼做的同学，他们也说不行。再打税务局热线，他们问我父母是不是resident for tax purpose， 我说他们探亲，这边没收入，我付他们的费用。税务局说这不行。
但去年我几个朋友都是找华人的会计师退税，都以父母探亲的名义多退税了。所以我都糊涂了。到底是可以还是不可以？ 还是华人会计师打差边球蒙混过关呢？
如果是，万一被抽查查到了，又要补交税，太麻烦了。
