Penalties soon to apply for overdue TPARs

Businesses that pay contractors to provide certain services may need to lodge a Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) by 28 August each year.



From 22 March, the ATO will apply penalties to businesses that:

  • have not lodged their TPAR from 2023 or previous income years;
  • have received three reminder letters about their overdue TPAR.


Taxpayers that do not need to lodge a TPAR can submit a 'non-lodgment advice form'. Taxpayers that no longer pay contractors can also use this form to indicate that they will not need to lodge a TPAR in the future.
