Yes po wala po syang expiration as latest attended seminar po. Pag may nakalagay daw pong expiration, sabihin daw po yung assigned officer tanggalin.
Question lang po sa pag fill up ng final registration, if wala pa pong number at accomodation sa Australia, ano po linagay nyong details sa country of destination section? N/A po ba muna? Salamat po

Already got my PDOS certificate thru email after the onsite seminar (Oct 25). Ngpa sched ako nung Oct 23 and got the Oct 25 slot.
Reminders for PDOS:
CFO original documents, sticker and certificate will no longer be issued from 1/May/2023
CFO clients will only be required to present the E-certificate or digital certificate in print or digital form on the day of their international travel
There is no need to pay for courier fee effective May 1, 2023 and there is no need to pick up the original documents from CFO. Your E-certificate or digital certificate will be sufficient proof of registration with the CFO.
You can however, pick up your receipts for the Documentary Stamp Tax (DST) amounting to P30.00 from our CFO office in Manila. Pick up schedule is from Monday –Thursday from 10 am to 5pm, a week after your payment online has been made (Please take note, however that the Philippine Bureau of Immigration will only be requiring your digital certificate on the day of your international travel)

Hi po, this is the official website of the ATO community:
You need to declare all assessable income but if this is only a one-off for example project, you don't need to declare it.
You need to have ABN: https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/Registration/Work-out-which-registrations-you-need/Business-or-company-registrations/

Share lang po regarding sa pagkuha ng PDOS;
1.) Register exactly 7:00am (ready your browser 5 minutes before 7:00am) limited slot per day.
2.) Once done, CFO will email address of agent you will send your requirements.
3.) Once agent verified all docs, they will give you seminar schedule, as early as the same day.
4.) Link will be provided once seminar done thru email for completion of registration and payment ( No Gcash yet. One easiest way is QR PH pay thru online banking).
5.) Once payment is done, PDF copy of Certificate will email right away.
So within one day, possible po ang Certificate ay makuha depends how early you registered and how early your agent replied :-) hope it helps.

Try to negotiate with your employer if pwedi ma keep yong employment mo dito sa Au, siempre, you can ask din if magiging AU rate na. Naging issue yan now especially, sa mga international students na may freelancing jobs pero hindi dineclare sa ATO. Sayang nga din naman pero legal lang tayo dapat.

No worries po. Good luck.

It's best that you ask the ATO directly. I've read the entire conversation from the link shared, and it did not have any conclusion in the end and just made it more confusing.
Giving them a call is always the best option to clarify all your doubts when it comes to taxation.
DIY all the way. Avoid preachy, know-it-all, and unscrupulous agents AT ALL COSTS!
