Just arrived from NZ and have applied for TFN, but I cannot proceed to join a Super fund without providing a TFN, and I start work Wednesday as that’s the start of the employers pay cycle? Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance.
Hi @pacifican2187,
Great that you have applied for it!
It's all good you don't need to join a fund until you get your TFN, you have 28 days to give it to your employer. Your employer has until the 28 July to pay your super into a fund. If they have any issues, they should have a default super fund they can pay the money into until you have opened a new account.
