We don't usually make this up!

UTS stores only one address for most of its students, which is the address 
they want their mail sent to. We report this for both "Postal address" and 
"Permanent address". For a small number of students (mainly from country 
areas or overseas) we have both home and semester addresses, and we report 
home as permanent, and semester as postal.

Our system is designed to meet our needs, not those of ATO!

If you don't have a postal address for a student, how do you send them 
notices??
