RFIG21070 - Statutory Residence Test (SRT): Split year treatment: Case 1 - Calculating whether individual works full-time overseas in the relevant period
The individual needs to apply the sufficient hours overseas calculation (refer to RFIG20150), to the relevant period with the following modifications:
- any reference to relevent year should be changed to relevant period
- the number of days at step 3 should be the number of days in the relevant period rather than 365 or 366
- the maximum number of days that can be subtracted from the reference period for gaps between employments is reduced from 30 days to the permitted limit of days
