호주 TFN은 어떻게 신청하나요?

To apply for an Australian Tax File Number (TFN), you generally need to follow these steps:

1. Visit the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) Website: The official application process is conducted through the ATO's website. You can find the relevant section by searching for 'Apply for a TFN' on ato.gov.au.

2. Select the Correct Application Type: As a foreign passport holder or temporary visitor, you will typically need to apply online using the 'Individual Auto Registration (IAR)' system.

3. Complete the Online Application: You will be required to provide personal information, including:

   • Your passport details (number and country of origin).
   • Personal identification details (name, date of birth, gender).
   • Your current Australian residential address (this is where your TFN will be mailed).
   • Your Australian mobile phone number and email address.
   • You will also need to confirm if you have previously applied for a TFN or ABN (Australian Business Number).

4. Submit and Save Your Application Reference: After submitting your application, you will receive an ATO receipt ID. It is crucial to save or screenshot this ID, as it can be used to track your application or make changes if needed.

5. Receive Your TFN by Mail: Your TFN will be mailed to the Australian address you provided. This process can take up to four weeks.

Important Considerations:

• Ensure you are applying directly through the official ATO website (ato.gov.au) to avoid scams or unnecessary fees.
• You must have a valid visa that allows you to work in Australia.
• If you need your TFN urgently, you may be able to call the ATO after a certain period (usually around 10-14 days after applying online) and provide your application details to inquire about its status or potentially receive it over the phone, though this is not guaranteed and requires successful verification.
• Once you receive your TFN, remember to provide it to your employer and your superannuation fund.
