Using a friends address isn't going to help because you have to be in Australia when you apply for it and the system will know from your passport details that you are not currently in Australia. Just apply when you arrive, you can still start your job and then provide the TFN to your employer when you get it. The very worst that will happen is that you are taxed a bit more at first but this will right itself and in any case it might be in time for the first payroll run anyway.

jadee Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 No we aren't citizens yet, that's a work in progress, we do have PR with our 189 visas though so a few yeas down the line who knows!! I just don't want to look unprofessional on my first day, they've provided me a list that I need to take, visa, driving licence etc, and TFN is first on the list. Just don't want them thinking I'm not organised but is there really no way other way around it? If so i'll have to explain prior to the 30th Jan. Thanks Bungo your're a star!

rammygirl Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) As above. The system knows you are not in Australia and will not generate a number until you are. It it doesn't take long and if you do end up paying too much tax you will get it back. the list will be a standard one provided to all employees, and vast majority will already be in Australia so don't fret.

Your employer knows you have just emigrated and won't have a TFN immediately. When I moved over I also started work within four days or so and it was no problem, in fact I did get my TFN in time for the first payroll. Thee is no way around it, but further there is no need to look for a way around it. It won't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que Sera Sera Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 My OH started a Job on the Monday after we'd emigrated on the Thursday previously . We had a TFN as we applied online the day we landed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadee Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Hi everyone's thanks for your advice. I've emailed them and my boss replied "don't stress about it" I love my new job already! Nothing ever seems too much of a big deal! Love the laid back take is easy in your own time outlook, it's really refreshing! Something I need to get used to though, need to shake this too formal approach off! have a nice weekend, Jade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
