Question here : If I were to work part-time in Australia, I need the Tax File Number ?
Even if I work less than 20 hours still need to be taxed ?

Providing Tax File Number is not compulsory, but if you don't provide TFN to your employer, you will be taxed at a very high rate(more than 40% if i'm not mistaken), surely you don't want this to happen.

Yes, even you work less than 20 hours, you will be taxed. But if you provide TFN and declare that you are a resident for tax purpose, you will get full tax refund if your income is less than $6000 in a financial year.

How do I obtain a Tax File Number for that reason ?
What if I am an international student and not a resident, how much will I be taxed ?

Food here is really expensive if you try to convert back to RM.
If you don't, then it's still ok.

you get student concessions in queensland? i dont think they have that here in melbourne...

Yeah sadly we're not entitled to concession prices in Melbourne so traveling on the public transport can be pretty expensive wink.gif
Choose to go out on Sundays for a cheaper price tongue.gif
