Sideshowdeb Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hi, just a quickie for those of you who have worked in Oz whilst on a WHV.... Did you have to apply for a new tax file number when you arrived as a PR or did you use the original one? Thanks in advance.

nikkiwd Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I vaguely remember reading that your tax file number is for life so you should be able to use the same one, I would check though in case I have imagined it lol! I have no idea what mine is so will need to contact ATO as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideshowdeb Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I thought so too, but I can't find where I read that. I guess it's like our NI number then? Thanks x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Your Tax File Number stays with you for life, so you wouldn't apply again http://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Ta...find-your-TFN/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skit78 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Hi, yes you TFN stays with you, but I only found this out when reading about it and already applied for another one which I have now so may need to make some calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickandange Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Oh I'm glad someone has asked this because we've been wondering what to do with an existing number too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
