Businesses that pay contractors for ‘Taxable payments reporting system services’ may need to lodge a ‘Taxable payments annual report‘ (‘TPAR’) by 28 August each year.
Editor: This includes businesses paying contractors in the building and construction, cleaning and IT industries.
From 22 March, the ATO will apply penalties to businesses that have not lodged their TPAR from 2024 or previous years, and/or have been issued three reminder letters about their overdue TPAR.
Businesses that do not need to lodge a TPAR can submit a ‘non-lodgment advice (‘NLA’) form’. Businesses that no longer pay contractors can also use this form to indicate that they will not need to lodge a TPAR in the future.
