Tax file number (TFN)
Any student requesting a HELP loan must declare a valid tax file number (TFN) on their Commonwealth assistance form (CAF).
You may have your enrolment cancelled if you are required to provide a valid TFN and you:
- fail to do so, or
- you provide an invalid or false TFN.
Applying for your TFN
If you don't have a TFN you need to apply for one with the Australian Taxation Office.
The Australian Taxation Office website contains further information on applying for a TFN (opens an external site).
