Tax File Number (TFN) \u2013 What is it?<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t have to have a TFN, but without one you pay more tax. You also won\u2019t be able to apply for government benefits, lodge your tax return electronically or get an Australian business number (ABN).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How to get a TFN?<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n
