Cleaners & Couriers now required to lodge a Taxable Payments Annual Report

The ATO has now confirmed that those who run a courier and/or cleaning business must lodge a Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) from 1 July 2018.

What is a TPAR?

A TPAR is the Taxable Payments Annual Report that tells the ATO about the payments you are making to contractors who provide services to your business. The report must be prepared once per year and is due in August annually. Find out more about what you need to report in our blog here. Also, see this link from the ATO for further details.
