The Tax File Number (TFN) Declaration is the official Australian tax form used by employees, contractors, and other payees to provide their TFN and residency details to an employer or payer. Completing this fillable PDF ensures the correct amount of PAYG tax is withheld and lets you claim the tax‑free threshold if eligible.

This form, often referred to as Form NAT 3092, collects:
- Your Tax File Number (TFN)

- Residency status for tax purposes
- Election to claim the tax‑free threshold
- Declarations for HELP, VET Student Loan, or other debts
Who Needs to Complete This Form?
You should fill out the TFN Declaration when you start a new job, receive payments from a new payer, or need to update your details. It applies to:

Common Mistakes & Tips
Don’t: leave the TFN blank, claim the tax‑free threshold from more than one payer, or sign with a handwritten signature that isn’t captured in the filler.
Do: double‑check your TFN, select the correct residency option, and use the built‑in electronic signature feature.
