Add Tax File Number (TFN) Redaction to your invite

Add Tax File Number Redaction to your FileInvite

Protect your clients' sensitive information by masking their Tax File Number on incoming documents.


When requesting PAYG Summaries, ATO Notices and other documents that report your client's earnings, you can use FileInvite's TFN Redaction functionality to secure paperwork and mask numbers so that they are only visible to those with the authority to see them.

Note: TFN Redaction is only available to users in Australia. You can ensure that your account is set to Australia in your profile settings, here.
