Hello,
I am a non resident Australian with in Australian passport. I was not born in Australia but I hold the Australian passport and a certificate of citizenship.
I created my GovID and used it to log in to the ATO website in order to apply for a TFN.
When I select the option of applying online for a TFN, it gives me many categories. I chose the option of "Australian citizens with an Australian passport" which describes my case. I reach a point where I am asked if I was born in Australia. When I put NO, it asks which country am I born at and my date of arrival to Australia. And since I was not born in Australia and I don't currently live there, this is preventing me from proceeding with the application. Can you please advise what should I do in this case? should I choose the category of non residents although I am Australian?
Thank you
