Do I need to provide my Tax File Number (TFN)?

It is not a legal requirement for you to provide your Tax File Number (TFN). However, if you don't provide your TFN:

  • We're legally required to withhold tax on your investment income at the highest individual income tax rate (45%) plus Medicare levy (2%).

  • This means nearly half of your investment income is withheld upfront.

You may claim this withheld amount as a credit on your tax return.

If you provide your TFN:

  • You'll receive your full investment income without any automatic tax withholding.

  • You'll avoid unnecessary paperwork at tax time.

Providing your TFN takes just a few minutes. Simply open the Spaceship app, head to the menu, and tap 'Update Tax File Number (TFN)' under the Spaceship Voyager section.

Important: You need to provide your TFN for each individual Spaceship Voyager portfolio you hold. We cannot share your TFN between products.
