Leaving Australia Money Kit: tax return, super (DASP) and exit plan
A 108-page guide and a 15-sheet Excel planner to get your final tax return, your super and your money out of Australia without leaving dollars behind.
By Borja Pérez · Updated October 2026
The problem it solves
Most working holiday makers leave Australia with money still on the table: tax withheld at the wrong rate, super they never claimed, or a return lodged too early or too late. Agents who do this for you charge a fee that is often not published. The kit gives you the steps, the checks and the emails so you can do it yourself.
What is inside
- 108-page PDF guide. Your tax position, an employer and payslip audit, the final tax return step by step (early or after 1 July), super and DASP including mixed visas and what to do if you are rejected, DIY or agent with Tax Practitioners Board checks, money logistics, notes for 21 countries, scams, four worked examples, a 78-item checklist, 20 email templates and 50 FAQs.
- 15-sheet Excel planner. Dashboard, a timeline built from your dates, payslip audit, income statement check, tax estimate, super and DASP net calculator, DIY-versus-agent break-even, transfer-cost comparison, departure cashflow, document tracker, claims log and email templates.
- Official links with check dates, so you know which pages the figures come from.
What it does not do
It does not prepare or lodge your return, and it cannot tell you what is right for your case. Some points could not be verified against a primary source and are marked in an appendix. If your situation is unusual, such as mixed visas, foreign income or a rejected DASP, get a registered tax agent to look at it.
Free resources first
If you only need the numbers, our free tools may be enough: the working holiday maker calculator, the working holiday maker tax guide, the DASP super guide and the 88-day calculator. The kit is for people who want the whole exit plan in one place.
