If you are trying to submit a CTR (Company Tax Return) and the system is asking for a TFN (Tax File Number), here’s what you need to know:
1. Check if your company already has a TFN
If this is a new company, it’s possible the TFN application is still in progress.
2. Apply for a TFN (if you don’t have one)
A TFN is required in order to lodge your CTR via the platform.
You can apply for a company TFN through the ATO website.
3. Lodging while waiting for your TFN
You cannot lodge through the platform without a TFN.
However, you may still lodge a paper return while your TFN application is being processed.
Keep a record of your TFN application as reference.
