Does the digit structure of an AU_TFN carry any significance, such as encoding regional information or being based on the taxpayer's location or demographic details?

It doesn't hold any significance. There is no embedded regional information and the number is generated randomly.

Is there a specific algorithm to use in order to detect a TFN?

Looks good - What context words would help differentiate a TFN from other 9-digit numbers?

Each number of the TFN can be multiplied by a specific weight then added together, and if the result is a whole number then the TFN is varified.

Tax return, payroll, TFN declaration statement, tax file number, and Austrailian Tax Office are all a few context words to help seperate itself from other 9-digit numbers
