    Default Melbourne clubs - ABN & tax file number?!

    Posted this in the Dollar Den forum but have had no replies... and since I'm coming to Australia soon want to make sure I obey by country rules...

    - I've never danced in Australia before so should I upon entering Australia, apply for a tax file number AND then an ABN?

    - I can apply for both online but any ideas how long they take to get either, also what documents if any I may need to bring with me? (I got a working holiday visa)

    - Also, do I really need both thought club only asked for your ABN as dancers are I assume classified as self-employed?

    THANX LOADS if you can help with anything - I've trawled through trillions of post here but still confused!

    Some clubs ask, some don't ... as long as you have your work visa you will be fine.

    If you have a working visa getting both will be no drama at all. Suss it all out when you get here I say ... even if a club does want an ABN they will more than likely still let you work a few shifts while you are in the process of sorting it.

    Stress less suga, you'll be fine

    ABN and TFN s are issued immediately. No wait at all.

    Thanks again, see there are agencies in the UK that arrange an ABN and tax file number for you for a small fee but the amount of info all of a sudden needed seemed a bit OTP...like how long do you plan to stay in whatever town...I'm like "I don't know that now do I"...

    Those are scams.. they just fill out the same shit in a different form and charge you to make a profit. You don't need them or to pay a fee through the Tax Office. Just use their site.

    Yeah def scams then by the sound of it. I figured if I apply online they won't ask me for any documents and so on just my visa number whereas these agencies want a statement of your earnings/tax paid by your last employer and god knows what else!

    Ah well can't wait to arrive in a country with sun!

    Sorry to be a spoiler but Melbourne is far from a goldmine at the mo, I work in Spearmint but I think pretty much everywhere is a struggle to get past that $1000 take home...

    Its still better than Perth! The last club I was at here, with a packed club and only 6 girls on the top earner was bragging that she'd made $740, after the compulsory 10 hour shift.

    That was my last night there :-)

    Ava if you want a travelling dancer gig: try some of the ones offered by mild2wild @ http://mild2wild.com.au/venues.html

    Gladstone has a strip club if you want purely stripper ones.

    Otherwise, check the Around Australia thread. Some of the information is years old yet still relevant.

    Avoid the Gold Coast for "travelling dancer gigs" ...

    also, were the amounts listed on the mild 2 wild website easily attainable? (pm if you'd rather)
