From 1 January 2017, tax rates will change for working holiday makers who are in Australia on a 417 or 462 visa (the 'backpacker tax').

Under this new tax rate, you should withhold 15% from every dollar earned by a working holiday maker up to $37,000 with foreign resident tax rates applying from $37,001.

You must register by 31 January 2017 to use this rate and avoid penalties. As long as you register in time, you can still use the new withholding tax rate of 15% from January 2017. Register from the ATO website
