• Legal name
• Address, Email, or Phone number

Tax Details Help

Are you an Australian Resident for Tax Purposes?

Select if you/talent are a resident, non-resident, or on a working holiday for tax purposes.  

Are you a Pty. Ltd.?

Select “Yes” only if you/the talent has an ABN that is registered as a Pty Ltd, partnership, or trust. Per ATO regulations, performing artists cannot use a Sole Trader ABN for commercial work and must be processed as an employee with PAYG withholding applied (see TFN). Only Production Crew can use a Sole Trader ABN.

Tax File Number

Your/talent’s Tax File Number (TFN) is a unique 9-digit number. The field turns green when the a valid TFN is entered. 

All Australian workers 18 and over must have a TFN. Without one, you'll be taxed at the highest rate. 

If you are completing this profile for a child under the age of 18 who is earning $1500 or less and does not have a tax file number, you can use 333 333 333 as their tax file number to signify that they are a minor claiming the tax-free threshold. Ensure their date of birth is entered correctly in the Personal tab. 

Note: ATO rules set a standard 20% PAYG withholding rate for all commercial work, regardless of other employment.

Important: Do not use a TFN that isn't for the person being paid. For example, don't use the parent’s TFN for a child's profile.
