Which forms and notifications does my departure require?
Your ATO obligations
Set a departure date in the Exit Plan or Deemed Disposal tool to see exact deadlines. The obligations below still apply.
Final / part-year Australian tax return
No fixed deadlineYour departure-year return records the date you became a non-resident and apportions the tax-free threshold for the resident part of the year. Get the date right. It flows through everything.
Official ATO page →myGov contact details + Australian refund account
No fixed deadlineThe ATO only refunds to an Australian bank account and reaches you via myGov. Confirm both work from overseas before you leave.

The Departing Australia Superannuation Payment is only for temporary residents. Australian citizens and permanent residents can never claim it, no matter how long they live abroad. Don’t plan around accessing your super by leaving. You can’t.
