With new research highlighting that 94% of students aged 14-24 still turn to their parents first for financial advice, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and Australia Post are working together to provide key tools to help young people transition to independence.

Getting a Tax File Number (TFN) is one of the things new university students and young people starting work often need to do. It's never been easier with the new 3 step guide to getting your TFN, which is available at any Australia Post retail outlet or check the guide and apply online via the ATO website.

Find out about more about TFNs and other useful tools for young people via Australia Post's Declare your Independence website.
