Tax file number declaration

When should you use this form?

You should complete this form before you start to receive payments from a new payer. For example, when you receive:

• payments for work and services as an employee, company director or office holder
• payments under return-to-work schemes
• payments under labour hire arrangements or other specified payments
• benefit and compensation payments
• super benefits.

The information you provide on this form is used to work out the amount of tax to be withheld from payments made to you. For example, if you:

• are claiming the tax-free threshold from this payer
• are an Australian resident for tax purposes
• have a Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) debt
• have a Financial Supplement debt.

You do not need to complete this form if you have reached 60 years of age and started a super benefit that does not include an untaxed element for that benefit.
