Frequently asked questions

Clear answers to common questions about TPAR reporting.
What is a Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR)?

A TPAR is a report businesses lodge with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to declare payments made to contractors for services. It helps the ATO ensure contractors report their income correctly and meet tax obligations.

Businesses that make payments to contractors in certain industries must lodge a TPAR. These include:
  • Building and construction
  • Cleaning services
  • Courier, road freight, and IT services
  • Security, investigation, and surveillance services
Government entities are also required to report such payments.

The TPAR is due by 28th August each year. It covers all payments made to contractors during the previous financial year (1 July to 30 June).

You’ll need to provide details such as:
  • Contractor’s name and ABN
  • Total payments made during the year
  • GST component (if applicable)
  • Business name and contact information
Your accountant ensures all details are accurate before lodging.

Failing to lodge your TPAR by the due date can result in ATO penalties, compliance reviews, or audits. Timely and accurate lodgement helps avoid fines and ensures smooth business operations.

Accountants like SMH Accountants & Advisors assist by:

  • Identifying reportable contractor payments
  • Preparing and reviewing data for accuracy
  • Lodging your report on time
  • Providing compliance advice and supporting you during ATO reviews

Yes, even if you made a small number of contractor payments, you may still need to lodge a TPAR if you operate in a reportable industry. Your accountant can confirm your specific obligations.

You can lodge the TPAR online via the ATO Business Portal, but many businesses prefer accountants to handle it to ensure accuracy and compliance.

Payments are reportable if they’re made to contractors or subcontractors for services, not for goods or materials alone. SMH Accountants can help determine which payments qualify.

We manage the entire process — from gathering contractor details to submitting accurate reports on time. Our experts ensure your business remains compliant and stress-free every reporting season.
