Before you start working in Australia you must obtain an Australian tax file number for your employers. Obtaining your tax file number isn’t a difficult task and it’s in your best interest, so you don’t pay over the odds on your tax and instead pay the lower tax rate of 29%. It’s best to arrange your tax file number before you travel to Australia, however if you do start work before arranging one, you have 28 days to attain the document.
There are 2 ways to obtain your tax file number; if you want to obtain it before you arrive in Australia then you can apply online, whereby the tax file registration system will compare the details held to those on your Working Holiday Visa.

Secondly, if you already in Australia you need to go to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) located in all the big cities. You will be required to complete the relevant paperwork and produce current identification, such as passport or driving licence.
Claiming Your Tax Back
It is important that you are aware that you can claim your tax back when in Australia on your Working Holiday Visa. When working in Oz you will pay between 13-29% so you could get back up to AU$2500 and once you have left Australia you can also arrange your superannuation refund averaging at an additional AU$600-$5000!
