So i beleive i will no longer have a home soon which is unfortunate but i am able to live in a van, however since i have no address how am i supposed to get paid, pay taxes and do all that. I have a permanent PO box that i have easy access to. But im not sure what to do.
Hi @AceOfAll,
Sorry to hear about your living situation.
We can use the PO box as your postal address only.
For the residential address it must be a street address cannot be a post office box number.
Do you have either a close family member or friend that you trust and comfortable with to be able to use their street address as an interim?
If you're not linked to us via myGov. Might be worth considering this as well refer to create a myGov account and link it to the ATO webpage.
Then most of your communications from us will be sent electronically instead via the post.
