If you receive an allowance from your employee it does have to be included as income on your tax return which means that yes you have to pay taxes on it BUT many allowances you can claim back as a deduction so in fact they cancel each other out so no tax will be paid on that amount. It really depends on what your occupation is and what the allowance is that you are getting. (And whether it is actually a fringe benefit you are getting not an allowance). Additional Info:
Not all allowances need to be included on your PAYG Payment Summary which means you do not need to put them on your tax return therefore do not pay tax on them (and you are also not allowed to claim a deduction against them) "Bona fide allowances" such as travel and meal are ones that must be included on your PAYG payment summary and you can also claim back the actual expenses incurred on your travel/ meal upto the ATO limit without substantiation, so sometimes you actually have a bigger claim than the amount of allowance you added as income so you will get a refund amount back.

Do you pay taxes on dividends and capital gains for ADR stocks by filing returns in the foreign countries or is the tax withheld automatically?
Your dividend statements should say whether tax has been withheld or not, this could come under 'franked amount' (which means tax has been paid on this particular dividend) or maybe you have an amount under 'foreign tax credit' which is the amount you claim in your country so you don't pay tax twice. If you only have unfranked amounts that means tax hasn't been paid on that dividend. From experience in Australia you do not have to file overseas if you have dividends in another country as the tax you pay in Australia is based on all forms of income made in Australia and made outside of Australia so you would file in your own country to pay the tax on the dividends. Under no circumstances would you have to pay tax in both countries in regards to the dividends.
