title	FAQ's

What period should TFN reporting be reported to the ATO?

TFN reporting schedule must be completed for beneficiaries, for whom TFN has not been reported to the ATO every quarter. If no, beneficiary's are to be reported there is no need to lodge the form. The periods for TFN reporting are same as BAS reporting quarter, 1^st July 2011.

When must you lodge a TFN Report?

You are only required to lodge an Annual TFN withholding report if you have withheld any amounts from any payment you have made to a beneficiary who has not quoted their TFN to you. The report is due three months after the end of the income year unless we have given you more time to lodge. For trusts with a 30 June balancing date, this will be 30 September. You are required to withhold 46.5% from a payment (46.5% being the top marginal rate plus the Medicare levy for the 2010-11 income year).

What is required to report with TFN to the ATO?

A beneficiary quotes their TFN when they provide you with their:

- TFN
- Full name
- Date of birth (individuals only)
- Postal address
- Residential address for individuals (not a PO Box or private mailbag)
- Business address for non-individuals (not a PO Box).

Who are not liable to report the TFN?

The TFN withholding rules apply to most beneficiaries of closely held trusts, including a company, individual, partnership, self-managed super fund, super fund or trust.

Beneficiaries not subject to the TFN withholding rules, not required to lodge include:

- Beneficiaries of a closely held trust, that is a unit trust, and already subject to other TFN withholding rules
- Non-residents for tax purposes
- Exempt entities as defined in the tax laws such as tax concession charities, deductible gift recipients and other entities that self-assess their status as income tax exempt
- Beneficiaries under a legal disability (for example, minors).
