Hi KylieD1799

Or you could look at the TFN Declaration the new employee completed. In addition to providing the TFN, the purpose of the TFN Declaration is for the employer to be able to determine which tax table to use. Resident, non-resident, claiming Tax free threshold, not claiming, has a student loan, does not have etc.

If the employee is claiming the tax free threshold, then the most likely tax table is Tax Free Threshold.

    Hi 1Pang
    
    Can you please elaborate on what exactly you mean by 'does not work anymore'? I just tested in AR2024 and worked just fine.
    
    FYI you can only use 111 111 111 for 28 days. This is how much time the ATO allows to process and provide an TFN. If the employee does not provide a TFN within 28 days of starting, you must set them as not providing a TFN and deduct PAYG at the maximum rate. This tends to hurry the employee along and ensure they have submitted the TFN application to the ATO and provide it to the employer in a timely manner.
