TAX FILE NUMBER COLLECTION - DESTRUCTION OF TFN REGISTRATION FORMS

BACKGROUND

As outlined in DI 44/91 a Tax File Number (TFN) Registration form is included in the letter that requests a pensioner's TFN.  (Also included with the letter is an Application/Enquiry form).  This registration form is returned to DVA with a pensioner's TFN on it.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this instruction is to advise of the procedures for the destruction of TFN registration forms once they have been returned.

It is essential to ensure that the TFN registration form is shredded once the TFN has been recorded on the system.  Under no circumstances should the TFN registration form be placed on file.
