Processing Payroll for new Employee waiting for TFN

We have started a new apprentice that is 16 and has no tax file number, he is still trying to apply, is there a way to process payroll for him without TFN and still process through STP reporting?

Before STP we used 999 999 999 or 111 111 111 and would enter TFN when received.

  • Hi Burra,

     

    Thank you for your post. 

     

    This would still be the case with STP, you would enter the relevant TFN number as per the ATO as a temporary TFN whilst you're awaiting their TFN. 

     

    Let me know if you have any further queries.

      Thankyou

      I wanted to make sure I was entering the right numbers and I searched the ATO site. Helps if you know your way around it.

      Thankyou for sending me the info.

      Cheers
