Hi all,

Does anybody know what additional things can be claimed on the tax return for 457 visa holder. Can things such as moving costs, flights, rent etc be claimed?.

Cheers

Probably not if they were incurred in getting you to Australia as a precursor to you starting work in Australia; deductions can generally be claimed for costs incurred in the course of deriving your income - see Work Related Expenses here:

Are you aware of the new tax legislation affecting 457 (and other temporary) visaholders from 1 July 2006:
