Yep just go to your branch and give them your TFN.
You can claim it all back soon anyway.

your interest doesnt decrease per se..... just more money is taken out in tax so end result is lots less money into your bank account as interest.... its not that hard...on Tuesday just go in with your TFN, in like 2 months you'll be getting your $8 back anyway through tax returns most likely!

^ exactly. all it means is your bank doesn't have your tax file number. if they don't they have to assume you're earning more money over the highest tax bracket.

to get it back you simply put down your withheld tax by the bank come tax time

When they were charging me it, it was because my freedom student account reverted to a freedom account when I didnt remind them im still studying?

they weren't charging you tax file number withholding tax, obviously.

Although I admit that I was particularly charming with the counter girl
