Do I need a TFN, ABN or to set up as a sole trader?
I am living in Australia on a 417 working holiday visa. I have been living here since the end of Feb 2026.
I am wondering if I would be able to do freelance work for a UK company? This would be paid in pounds sterling by a graphic designer company in the UK who I would be freelancing for. I would be doing the work physically in Australia. What do I need to do to ensure that I am tax compliant? I am unsure of what I need to apply for / have in place to be freelance for a UK company while living in Australia. It would be for a 3 month maximum period within the terms of the 6 month limit of my visa. Please let me know how to set this up correctly and what I would be responsible for. Many thanks.
