FYI

It matters! When I went to the tax office, they had a poster there at the foreigner desk explicitly saying the ID number you file with must be the same as the bank account for the tax refund.

Thanks! (For both answers - I wasn’t sure which thread was more suitable.)

That’s what I thought I’d read as well. It’s weird though, because I thought we’re technically obligated to update our bank details with our new numbers when we get them, which means nobody should have their old ARC numbers still on file at their bank. Conversely, we’re supposedly not required to update our NHI cards, which means people could still file taxes with their old number (as happened here) without being able to provide a bank account with the old number.

You just earned two s from me for today, -whore.
