i applied for a taxfile number online (i know i know....a bit late huh!). i did it a few weeks ago online, and i still haven't recieved it. i need it soon because i start working next week...does anyone know if this is normal for the ato to take so long with appliations online?

I've had mine for years, thinking back I don't remember it taking very long.

Keep in mind, the ATO, like all organisations, would slow down dramatically at this time of year. If it hasn't arrived by the time you start working, talk to your employer and explain the situation.

you should have applied through your school
I didn't know you could apply online, but even if u can I think you have yo go in and show them ID and other relevant documents - you don't have to do this if you apply through your school. Maybe this is the problem...

Enoch: Call the Tax office and they will ask you a number of personal questions like name, DOB, Address, etc etc.

enitya_25: Give the tax office a call after 2/1/2006. In the meantime, tell your employer your application is still in process. They will withhold your paid to 50% or whatever the greatest tax bracket is. However as soon as you get the tax file number, they will return it to you.

I applied mine through the school, got it in 4 weeks.

same, actually our school pulled their weight on this one - one of the teachers came around and handed out application forms. i filled it out and handed it in back to school, got my TFN within a month.

Acutally I think they will open on 28-30/12, so you may like to call them during those days. I doubt they will close for the whole week lol.

lol our school didn't exactly force us to apply, but the career advisor mentioned many times about the benefit of having one. I applied in year 10, didnt actually use it until last year when I finished year 12.
