Where to Enter My Required Payroll Information (Talent/ Crew)

To ensure payments are processed on time, your Talent Profile must be complete. This is required for ATO payroll compliance.

• Legal Name
• Address
• Email, or Phone number
• Date of Birth
• Tax File / Information
• Superannuation Details (Fund Name, USI & Member Number)
• Personal bank details (freelance only)

Important: If you are a guardian or parent, the information above should be for the minor. 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.

Privacy: Your information is securely stored and only accessible by payroll, you, and your agent (if applicable).

How to Update

1. Log into Talentpay and click the Profile icon then select Profile from the menu.
2. In Personal Tab enter name, DOB, contact info, emergency contact.
3. In Financial Tab, enter tax, super, and bank details (skip bank details if not freelance).
4. Click the save icon button above the profile tabs.

Tip: You can also check your Talentpay dashboard to see if your profile needs updating.

Profile FAQs

What should I put for "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.  

What do I select for "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.

What is a "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. 

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. 

Do I need a "Tax File Number"?

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