Tax File Number Query
Hi Guys
I have a query regarding my tax file number. I have done a quick search but it did not answer my question.
I am in Australia on a Spouse Visa (1st Stage). At the moment I have a non resident tax file number. Is that what I should have? and after the two years are up, should this change to resident?
Sorry to be a bit thick but I really don't know!! Thanks

No, it means that number stays with you, but how you fill out your tax form changes IE: you now tick the resident box

I phoned the tax office and explained the situation and was basically told to put in writing - I did this and within 3 weeks had new letter confirming the change

My TFN is the same number I had when I was on a WHV, and it will be the same number when I'm a citizen. There's no change to the number ever, just the status/way you fill out the forms. I did call the ATO to advise them of my change of status, and they told me it was all down to how I filled out the forms!

Thanks for your help guys.
I haven't had to fill any form to put my status in as I had a TFN from when I was travelling 2 years ago. Sorry I should have mentioned that before!!!

The forms are associated with when you become employed/file a tax return.

Went back to the UK after 12 months.
Returned last year as 457 temp visa and used my old TFN straight away.
It is the forms that you get done at the end of the tax year (June 30) that are being referred to.
