Default How do I get a Tax File Number??

Hi- does anyone know how I get a Tax File Number?? Im going soon on a 457 and my employer has sent me stuff to complete which requires me to have a TFN. Do I already have it and am I being stupid??

If not- should they know it or is there something I dont know about that I should have done already.... ????

No idea....

But you won't be able to get one until you are in the country - it detects when your visa has been activated, and then you can apply online.

I have validated my visa so can I apply for the tax file number whilst still in the UK? Will be heading to Brisbane June / July.

Thanks

As far as I know, you need an Oz address to get the letter with the number sent to. Why all the rush to pay tax?

No rush, just curious, I've plenty of tax ahead of me so the tax file number can wait!
