AUS tax file number question

[Guest robbob777]

Can someone please tell me why i need to provide a TFN to trade aus shares but not US shares? im new to IG.

If i click on the little blue pen icon it asks for my TFN? Is this a one off because im new?

Hi @robbob777,
It is a one off proces, you will need to enter you TFN for AUS shares. For US shares you will need to complete a W-8BEN form :
