Why does Blossom need my Tax File Number?

While it is not compulsory, we recommend providing us with your Tax File Number within the Blossom web, iOS or Android app.

If we do not receive your TFN and you don’t give us a valid exemption, we must withhold tax at the highest personal rate, plus the Medicare levy, before passing on any distribution to you. The law is very strict on how we can use TFN details. If this withholding tax applies, it is merely a collection mechanism and an investor may claim a credit in their annual income tax return in respect of the tax withheld.

To avoid this, please enter your TFN in the ‘Settings’ tab as soon as you can!
