Organisations not required to lodge tax returns should give thereason why (i.e. non-profit organisation).Once you have lodged your TFN, SAFA will apply that number to any future investments you make. However,you will need to relodge your TFN with SAFA if you choose to have a different account title or different interestpayment instructions for your new investment.Collection of TFN information is authorised <strong>and</strong> its use <strong>and</strong> disclosure is strictly regulated by the tax laws <strong>and</strong> theGovernment of South Australia’s Information Privacy Principles.
