Applying for a tax number prior
Hi all
Just wondered how we go about applying for a tax number while say living in holiday accomadation, can't well give there address? can one apply online prior to arriving in Australia?
Anyone who has any help please let us know.
Cheers

When you book your rental just ask if you can use that address.

You can do it all online at www.ato.gov.au and it takes about a week to get the tax file number sent to you by post.
Check out the application requirements there.

You can do it online but as soon as you input your passport number the system knows whether or not you've arrived in Oz! (very clever!! ). Do it as soon as you arrive and it only takes a few days to come through.

Did ours during a week's validation trip; gave a son's address, and did it all online at the library.
The ATO don't seem in the slightest bit interested in your address - we have changed places several times and tried to tell them but they look at us as if we're mad. I don't think they are too used to people offering to pay tax.

You could open a PO Box in Oz from the UK ready for when you arrive in Oz. You can use the PO box address for you tax file number and collect any post they store for you - they will be happy to forward your post from the UK to temp addresses for 12 months.
