What is TPAR?
As a business owner, you need to understand your obligations when it comes to compliance and third-party reporting. Keeping accurate records of the taxable payments your business makes to any contractors who are engaged to help provide your services is one of the key reporting obligations that you need to pay particular attention to. That’s where the Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) comes in.
The Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) is an industry-specific annual report for businesses that are required to report the total payments that have been made to contractors. The amount is reported to the Australian Tax Office (ATO) when your business submits its annual TPAR.
The ATO uses the information in the TPAR to match the data of the annual declared income of the contractors your business employs with the payments your business has made to them over the financial year with the ultimate goal of improving compliance.
The ATO is trying to identify if a contractor hasn’t included all their income on their tax return, or if they have failed to lodge a tax return or activity statement, or quoted an incorrect Australian Business Number (ABN) on their invoices, or failed to register for Goods and Services Tax (GST). The TPAR that you submit helps the ATO ensure all contractors are meeting their own tax obligations.
What details need to be included in a TPAR?
All the payments you made to contractors for the financial year need to be included in the report. The details of each payee that need to be included are as follows:
- Australian Business Number (ABN)
- Address
- Name (either the business name or the individual’s name)
- Taxable payments, that is, the total amounts for the gross amount paid, including total GST paid, and total tax withheld when an ABN wasn’t quoted. If you’re not clear on why you need to withhold tax where an ABN isn’t quoted, see our article on PAYG Withholding here.
