You will be asked to provide your tax file number (TFN) when completing and signing the Request for FEE-HELP assistance form.
If you choose not to provide your TFN, you will not be entitled to FEE-HELP, as the TFN is required to enable your provider to advise the amount of your loan to the Tax Office.
If you cannot quote your TFN when you enrol, you must obtain a TFN, or a certificate from the Tax Office stating that you have applied for one, and give it to your provider on or before the census date. If you cannot quote your TFN or supply a certificate by the census date, you will not be entitled to FEE-HELP. Your provider will use your TFN to provide advice to the Tax Office of the amount of your loan.
