tax file number
Hello there. Can someone confirm the tax file number thing for me? Do you not just arrange this when you start earning money here? At the moment, my husband will still be paid through the UK company payroll for March. He goes to an Aussie payroll as from April. Does he not just get the tax file number then? Thanks

Re: tax file number
You can apply for it before you start earning anything. I did.
You need it pretty much as soon as you have a bank account, in order that you will not be charged with-holding tax (which will happen if you don't give a tax file number. You can claim it back again, but easier to just give them the number and not pay it in the first place).
Just do it online, they will post you a paper confirmation within a few weeks.
Fast, free and easy, no excuse not to! (as soon as you have an address they can send it to)
