Tax le number
When applying for your benet we encourage you to provide your tax le number (TFN) if you have not already done so. You don’t have
to provide your TFN but if you choose not to, and you are applying for your total benet, the payment will be reduced by the amount
of any additional no-TFN tax payable on your concessional contributions, and the benet, if taken in cash, will be taxed at the highest
marginal rate plus the Medicare levy and any other levies if you are under 60 years of age.
Under the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993, the trustee is authorised to collect, use and disclose your TFN. The trustee
may disclose your TFN to another superannuation provider when your benets are being transferred, unless you write to your super
fund and ask the trustee not to disclose your TFN to any other trustee. It is not compulsory to provide your TFN but if you don’t, you may
pay additional tax on your contributions and benet payments, and some contributions may not be accepted.

You can roll over or transfer all or part of your benet to a SMSF at any time by completing the information requested in Sections 2 and
3. You must provide certied documents to prove your identity and a copy of the fund’s bank statement so that we can electronically
transfer your rollover to the fund’s bank account. If you do not provide a copy of the bank statement, or the account details do not match
the details you have nominated on the form, or the account is not held in the name of the SMSF, your rollover request may not be able to
be processed.
Proof of identity
We require proof of your identity before we can pay your benet. If you have already provided proof of identity you do not have to
provide it again, as long as you don’t change your name or the bank account you’ve nominated to receive payments and withdrawals. If
