Does someone under 18 years old and not earning enough to pay tax need a TFN?

Question

If an individual is under 18 and earns less than $18,200 per year they shouldn't need a TFN. This is pretty common and employees are exempt from providing a TFN if they meet these two requirements. You can view some further information on our website about TFN exemptions (https://www.ato.gov.au/Calculators-and-tools/Tax-withheld-calculator/?page=4#:~:text=employment%20termination%20payment.-,TFN%20exempt,18%C2%A0years%20of%20age%20and%20earn%20less%20than%20%2418%2C200%C2%A0per%20year.,-They%20are%20an).
