This document outlines the review that is automatically created by the system when a Family Tax Benefit (FTB) customer becomes linked to a person who has not provided their Tax File Number (TFN).

TFN details

Both the customer and their partner must have their TFN recorded, or the partner must have been granted a TFN exemption in order for payment of FTB to continue. If the customer and partner do not have a TFN or exemption reason recorded, their payment entitlement will be reassessed. The reassessment will result in FTB being cancelled.

At the same time the review is created a letter is automatically sent to the customer advising that no tax file number has been recorded for their partner.
