This topic contains information for individuals who wish to lodge a claim for FTB and/or CCB and whose partner is not residing in Australia.
To make an effective claim for FTB and/or an effective claim for more than zero rate of CCB, an individual must supply their TFN and the TFN of their partner (1.1.P.30) if they have one. Where their partner is not residing in Australia, they may not have a TFN. Non-residents of Australia who do not have a TFN must apply for one by completing the 'TFN Application for individuals living outside Australia' (NAT2628). The ATO will give priority to an individual and their partner if a TFN is required for FTB and/or CCB purposes.
