Tax File Number (TFN) – What is it?
The TFN is a unique and personal 9-digit number issued by the Australian authorities. This number allows you to be registered with the Australian Tax Office (ATO). It is an important part of your tax and super records as well as your identity, so keep it secure. You must provide this number to your employer in order to work legally in Australia.
The number does not change and is assigned for life (it does not matter whether you change your name, visa, address, move interstate or go overseas, etc). You don’t have to have a TFN, but without one you pay more tax. You also won’t be able to apply for government benefits, lodge your tax return electronically or get an Australian business number (ABN).
How to get a TFN?
The TFN can be obtained by applying online at the Australian Tax Office (ATO) website. It is free of cost. Following your request, you will receive a reference number that you can use while waiting to receive your final TFN. It will be sent within 28 days to the postal address provided in your application.

To apply for a TFN will depend on your circumstances (choose appropriate option):
Now you must fill out the form online. Once the ATO has processed your application, they will send a TFN notification letter to the Australian postal address you have provided.
My friend and myself had applied for work visa, and believe me the process was extremely smooth. All the details about the VISA and the processing fees were clearly discussed prior. The support system is truly efficient, all the doubt were answered in a very profession manner. I highly recommend Mr.Amit and the whole team of VISAINFO, for consultation regarding various visa applications.
Thanks for visa info team for helping me to get my PR
My wife and I are overjoyed to see the positive outcome for the sibling visa application which was indeed very complex in nature and had to applied again, after it was rejected the last time.
We wish her all the very best for her in all walks of her life.

Mahesh and Sree
Trusting someone blindly and following their instructions can be challenging, but Simran's guidance and support made all the difference. Her guidance and instructions were spot-on throughout the 4-year journey filled with hurdles and challenges.
Simran deserves heartfelt appreciation for her guidance and support throughout the challenging four-year process. She proved to be a reliable and invaluable resource for me. My gratitude towards Simran is well-deserved, as her expertise played a significant role in helping me achieve this milestone.
I express my immense gratitude to Simran for her invaluable assistance. I am enjoying this well-deserved success, because of Simran.
Thanks again AMIT BAIJAL and FAISAL KHAN
