I moved to Australia from South Africa in June 2014. I closed my bank accounts as I won't be returning to South Africa. I was studying full time during the 2014 financial year so my tax return is NIL.

My question is how do I fill in the bank account declaration section (on eFiling) since I no longer have a South African bank account? Do I update my details to "I don't have a local bank account" or do I keep my previous banking details on the form as I closed my bank account after the 2014 year end?...
