Scenario
When you need to Process Payroll for an Employee who has no TFN, but has applied for TFN and has not received this yet.
Solution
Use the TFN Code Number 111111111 on the Employee Record on TFN.
Link below as per ATO when to use TFN Code Number:
TFN code number |
When to use code number |
---|---|
000000000 |
Use if the payee has not provided a TFN or fails to provide one within 14 days. |
111111111 |
Use if a payee does not provide a valid TFN or you receive a declaration from the payee which says they have applied for a TFN. This code should be updated with the payee’s TFN, or, with the no TFN quoted code when the payee fails to provide the TFN to the payer within the 28-day period allowed. |
333333333 |
Use if a payee is under 18 years old and claims the general exemption because they don't earn enough for tax to be deducted. If circumstances change and the payee subsequently earns a level of income that attracts tax, a TFN will be required to be provided at that time. |
444444444 |
Use if the payee is a recipient of a social security or service pension or benefit (other than Newstart, sickness allowance, special benefits or partner allowance) and an exemption from quoting a TFN may be claimed. |
