Hey all,
My boss is losing his mind about the new invoice system and is harrying me for my Tax ID, as it is apparently a completely new and different number from the My Number we’ve been using all this time and will take something like 3 months to get.
He’s sent me a mountain of paperwork assuring me the ‘details are in there’, but I’m overwhelmed by it and cannot figure out where I need to go to apply for this thing.
Does anyone know where to get this number? A handy internet link, perhaps?

I had to do it too… I started the process online and am currently waiting. Here are some links that my work sent that might be helpful:

edit: By the way, it’s easier on smartphone because you can scan your MyNumber card using the phone (on PC you need a chip reader device).
