Tax Pack fr £25 per application

If you are travelling to Australia and intend to work, an Australian Tax File Number is essential or you could end up paying half your wages in tax!

  • By arranging a tax file number before you head to Oz you save hassle and stress on arrival.
  • Without the tax file number you pay emergency tax at 48% - so you don't want to have to wait for a TFN before you can work at normal tax levels.
  • We can help organise Australian tax refunds while you're still there. The average refund is £1,500 and happens at the end of the Australian tax year in June.
