Jin77 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hi Im hoping to start working at the end of January and arrive in oz at the start of January. How long does getting a TFN take? What is the easiest method for applying for one please? Online or go to an office? If we do it online , do we need to show someone some documents? Have read all the posts and I understand I must be in the country and must have an address while I'm applying and waiting for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifi69 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hiya I arrived in Perth this month. Applied for TFN online and got it through in a week. No documents needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackinabox Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Applied online. Been waiting 6 working days. Still not arrived. Not a problem as you can work without one as long as you have applied for one. You simply inform your employer that it has been applied for. If after 28 days it hasnt arrived then your employer takes 46.5% tax until it is produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
