    TAX ID, in the US, often refers to an EIN(Employer's Identification Number, which is basically a dedicated SSN type of number). It can also be a GENERIC term including other countries. You are right about SSN. VAT ID would obviously refer to the ID used to report VAT!

    BTW a Resale permit number, or SALES TAX ID, could ALSO be considered a TAX ID, but is used when stuff is bought wholesale, or with NO sales tax.

    If you're Australian I assume you have a Tax File Number. Why not use that?
