We are authorised by the Taxation Administration Act 1953 to request tax file numbers (TFNs). We will use TFNs to identify payees in our records. It is not an offence for payees not to provide their TFNs but if they don't their assessment may be delayed.

We are also authorised to collect the information on the PAYG payment summary – superannuation lump sum by one or more of the following Acts:

  • Income Tax Assessment Act 1936
  • Income Tax Assessment Act 1997
  • Taxation Administration Act 1953.

The information you provide will help us to administer these Acts and other tax laws.

Where authorised by law, we may give this information to other government departments and agencies, including:

  • Department of Education
  • Department of Employment
  • Services Australia
  • Department of Social Services
  • Department of Veterans' Affairs
  • Australian Bureau of Statistics
  • Reserve Bank of Australia

We also provide taxpayer information to treaty partners overseas under international tax agreements.

If you have an Australian Business Number, some information on this form may be collected under the A New Tax System (Australian Business Number Act) 1999 and will be used to update your details on the Australian Business Register (ABR). Where authorised by law, selected information may be made publicly available and some may be passed to a wide range of government agencies, including Commonwealth, state and local government agencies.
