Tax officer: Good morning. Tax office. How can I help you?

Customer: I'd like to apply for a tax file number.

Tax officer: Are you a citizen?

Customer: No. But I'm told I still need a number.

Tax officer: So what is your residency status? Are you a permanent migrant or perhaps a temporary visitor

Customer: Oh, I'm I'm a permanent migrant.

Tax officer: And you need a TFN?

Customer: A what?

Tax officer: A TFN. It stands for tax file number.

Customer: Yes. What is that exactly?

Tax officer: 1It's a unique number we issue to individuals and organizations to help administer tax collection and other government systems.

Customer: Why do I need one?

Tax officer: In actual fact, you don't.

Customer: What do you mean?

Tax officer: It's not compulsory, you know.

Customer: But I should get one?

Tax officer: 2Well, it's a good idea. Otherwise, you'll have more tax withheld from your wages or salary. In fact, you won't be eligible to participate in the PAYE, that's pay as you earn, system, and you couldn't apply for income support or other benefits. You wouldn't have to pay the Medicare levy, but then you wouldn't be entitled to claim Medicare benefits either.

Customer: I'd better have one then.

Tax officer: Okay. So you're currently living in this country, right?

Customer: Yes.

Tax officer: What kind of visa do you have? A working visa?

Customer: 3Well, I did have one because after my student visa expired, I went back home and worked for a year before applying for a job here. The job turned out to be permanent and full time, and my employers wanted me to settle here. So now I have a permanent migrant visa.

Tax officer: 4Now once you have a file number, you never need to reapply. Even if your circumstances change, for example, if you get married or decide to take an English name, they'll even use the same one when you retire and apply for a government pension.

Customer: I see.

Tax officer: Have you ever had a TFN before?

Customer: No.

Tax officer: Right. Let's get on with the application process now.

Tax officer: What is your passport or travel document number?

Customer: 5Oh, just a moment. I have it here. JGW1100536.

Tax officer: Where do you come from?

Customer: I came from Greece.

Tax officer: Is that your country of origin?

Customer: Yes. I came from Greece.

Tax officer: Are you Greek? Do you have a Greek passport?

Customer: No. I was born in Spain. I have a Spanish passport. But I've been living in Greece.

Tax officer: And where do you live now? Where will the department send your TFN?

Customer: 6That's 1339 Harbour Drive, Hollywell.

Tax officer: Postcode?

Customer: 1517.

Tax officer: Thank you. Now what's the best way to get in touch with you?

Customer: By phone, you can ring my landline number, 0955775076. I'm sorry. I haven't got a cell phone at the moment.

Tax officer: I see. Can you give me the details of someone else we could contact if we can't get you during office hours?

Customer: That would be my landlady. What's her name? Martha Pierce.

Tax officer: Is that Pierce, p I e r c e?

Customer: 7No. It's p e a r c e.

Tax officer: And her number is?

Customer: The same as the one I gave you.

Tax officer: Yes. I've got that. Now, for some more personal details, what title do you use?

Customer: Excuse me?

Tax officer: Are you missus, miss, or miss?

Customer: 8I'm not married. Put me down as miss.

Tax officer: Alright. What's your surname?

Customer: Farina.

Tax officer: What's your first name?

Customer: Maria.

Tax officer: Do you have a second or middle name?

Customer: Well, two, actually.

Tax officer: What are they?

Customer: Rosa Anna.

Tax officer: I'm guessing Farina is your maiden name since you haven't been married. But are you known by any other names?

Customer: Farina is my only surname. But people call me Mary.

Tax officer: 9As a first name?

Customer: Yes.

Tax officer: When were you born, Mary? Can you give it to me in the following order, day, month, and year?

Customer: 10The 11/15/1983.

Tax officer: You're obviously female. So that brings me to the last question which I don't really need to ask.

Customer: What's that?

Tax officer: Your husband's name.

Customer: I don't have one.

Tax officer: I know. So I'll just write down NA for not applicable. Thank you.
