Providing your employees’ Tax File Numbers is very important. If you don’t provide your employees’ TFNs to us, they will not be able to make any voluntary contributions and may pay more tax on their super.

When an employee has provided you with their TFN the law requires that you pass it on to their super fund. It is generally required that you do this when you next make a contribution for any employee who has provided their TFN to you.

However, if you receive an employee’s TFN within 14 days of sending your contribution for the employee, then you have up to 14 days from receiving the TFN to pass it on to the fund.

Your TFN responsibilities are to:

respect the privacy of employees who quote you their TFN;
accept TFNs from your employee; and
pass them on when you next make a contribution to the employee’s superannuation fund.

For more information on superannuation and tax call the ATO on 13 10 20 or visit the ATO website.
