If you currently employ a working holiday maker on a 417 (Working holiday visa) or 462 (working and holiday from certain country only) visa, you must register with ATO by 31 January 2017 so you can withhold the correct amount tax.
Employers should also check their worker has the right visa.
A workers visa status can be checked using Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) External Link service on the Department of Immigration and Border Protection website.
Backpackers can also easily access this information and make it available to their employer.
