Collecting your Tax File Number (TFN), Australian Business Number (ABN) or an exemption reason
Our collection of your tax file number (TFN) is authorised, and its use and disclosure strictly regulated, by tax laws and the Privacy Act. You do not have to provide us with your TFN, and declining to do so is not an offence. If you do not quote your TFN (including all TFNs for joint accounts) or ABN, or claim an exemption, tax may be withheld from the income received in respect of your portfolio at the highest marginal
tax rate (plus Medicare levy) before it is paid to you.
You may quote your entity's ABN as an alternative to its TFN if you are opening this portfolio for purposes related to that entity's business.
For more information about the use of tax file numbers, please contact the Australian Tax Office.
