Taxpayers who need to lodge a TPAR

Defining your business idea

Taxpayers may need to lodge a Taxable payments annual report (‘TPAR’) online by 28 August if they have paid contractors to provide any of the following services on their behalf:

n       building and construction;

n       cleaning;

n       courier and road freight;

n       information technology; or

n       security, investigation or surveillance.

If the ATO is expecting a TPAR from a taxpayer who does not need to lodge one, they can complete a ‘TPAR non-lodgment advice form’ by 28 August. 

Taxpayers who no longer pay contractors can also use this form to tell the ATO they will not need to lodge a TPAR in the future (although if their circumstances change they may need to lodge a TPAR).

Editor: Please contact our office if you need assistance with completing and/or lodging a TPAR. 

Note that paper lodgments of TPARs will no longer be accepted after 28 August 2025..
