Tax File Number Applications
Boys aged 13 years or over and still at school are eligible to apply for a Tax File Number (TFN) through the school. Applying for the TFN through the school requires less paperwork and is a quicker process. If you are thinking about getting casual work over the Summer School Holidays, you will more than likely require a TFN. Please see Mr Breden to collect TFN information and an application form.
If you would like to make further enquiries or to make an appointment, please contact me on 02 9568 9429 or Email: jbreden@newington.nsw.edu.au. For boys at school, please drop by the Careers Office located on Level 1, above Prescott House locker area at the back of the Le Couteur Wing (Library).
