TFN not required for under 18 year olds

Hi, Deirdre

Thanks for your post.

When paying super for employees under 18, the TFN that can be entered would be 333 333 333. You may also reach out to ATO to get more details about this.

Please let us know if you require further assistance.

Best regards,

Doreen

Thanks Doreen, I am aware that 333 333 333 is allowed when paying someone under the age of 18, however MYOB Super Pay rejects it as invalid when trying to make the payment to your clearing house.

Hi, Deirdre

Thank you for updating us.

Kindly send us a screenshot of the error you receive when paying super. Make sure to remove any sensitive information before posting in the Forum.

We are looking forward to your response.

Hi,

We are having this same issue. The system comes up with a red X saying that we have not provided a correct TFN for this employee when we go to pay the super through the MYOB 'Pay Super' clearing house option, however, the employee is under 18yo and waiting on their TFN and I have entered TFN as 333 333 333 and the error still stands. Please help.

Hi TamaraBambi,

Thank you for your post.

I understand that you're experiencing an issue with the Pay Super clearing house option for an employee under 18 years old awaiting their TFN. It appears that the system is unable to recognize the designated TFN number "333 333 333" for under-18s who are not subject to tax deductions due to insufficient earnings. I recommend referring to the Help article, Troubleshooting Pay Super Payments, which provides a comprehensive list of error information. Additionally, I suggest verifying all details in the employee's card file to ensure accuracy.

For more information, please refer to this Help article: Paying super for employees aged under 18.

Feel free to create a new post if you need further assistance.

Hi TamaraBambi 

While an under 18 year old who earns less than threshold is not required to provide a TFN for PAYG purposes, same does not necessarily apply to super. The super funds might use the TFN to correctly identify the individual. Suggest the employee apply for and provide the TFN. Might be easier than getting MYOB to change the software.

Hi Princess, we too are having this issue. The employee has applied for a TFN even though he doesn't need one as under 18 but the SGC deadline is approaching and we are unable to process the super as we have entered the 333 333 333. There really should be a fix in MYOB to prevent this issue.
