When you’re working at a client for us, you’re one of our employees. That means within Australia you’re covered by us for Worker’s Compensation and Superannuation, and we also pay your weekly income tax for you. In Australia, every employee must complete a tax return if they meet the ATO’s criteria, therefore at the end of the financial year, we’ll send you a Group Certificate thus enabling you to complete your Tax Return. (If you do not submit your tax file information the ATO may issue you with a fine). You don’t have to submit your TFN, but if you don’t your payer must withhold the top rate of tax plus the Medicare levy from all payments made to you, unless you qualify for an exemption. When you start a new job, you have 28 days to give your TFN to your employer before this requirement to tax you at the highest rate applies.
