Learn how to do an online Tax File Number (TFN) declaration in Payroller

Learn how to do an online Tax File Number (TFN) declaration in Payroller with our simple guide below.

With the introduction of STP Phase 2, TFN declarations are submitted automatically when submitting a pay run and you will not need to indicate this separately on Payroller.

When you employ a new worker, you need to provide the ATO with a TFN declaration.

It might be easier for you to complete an electronic TFN declaration via Payroller rather than manually filling out a handwritten one.

There are two different methods of doing this;

• TFN declaration for when you’ve already set up the employee and

• TFN declaration for when you’re setting up the employee.

For employees that you have already added to Payroller:

Go to People.

Select the relevant employee.

Click on the blue pencil button to edit.

You will be taken to the employee’s details.

From here, go to the Tax section.

Tick the TFN declaration box.

Hit Save!

For employees that you haven’t added to Payroller:

Go to People.

Go about the usual way that you would add a new employee.

Fill out all of the necessary details.

Once you reach the tax section, make sure you tick the TFN declaration box.

Click Next and finish the employee’s setup.
