QUOTE(Monya Meow Meow @ Jan 14 2009, 11:02 PM) 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. |

QUOTE(KVReninem @ Oct 7 2009, 02:49 PM) International students could solve debt - SaltQuote from SMHINTERNATIONAL students are the key to paying off Australia's debt and caring for its ageing population, a leading demographer says.
Bernard Salt says the country should be embracing international students and encouraging them to stay on after they finish their degrees.
Only 20,000 of the 400,000 international students who are educated in Australia every year migrate here, he said.
But that number needs to increase in order to counteract the growing number of baby boomers leaving the workforce and paying less tax.
"We are not likely to raise the tax rate substantially," Mr Salt said.
"So this means we need more people who can pay taxes, and they can only come from overseas."
A student migration program would not only help Australia pay off its massive debt incurred as a result of the global economic downturn but would also ensure a steady stream of skilled migrants.
"International students represent an outstanding source of skilled migrants - they're young, educated and keen to become Australians," Mr Salt said.
The reputation of Australia's $15.5 billion international education industry was damaged earlier this year following a series of attacks on Indian students in Melbourne.
An independent review of the sector is being carried out by former federal Liberal MP Bruce Baird.
Mr Salt, who will deliver his message to the Australian International Education Conference in Sydney next week, said the nation needed to lift its game if it was to compete in the highly competitive international student market.
  The application charge and requirements are still getting more expensive and difficult each year, nothing to be happy about until you see actual changes that favour international students applying for PR are made in the immigration department website. |

That's really interesting. I have always wondered whether old results can be used for Visa application purposes. When did you do your last Visa?
