Taxable payments annual report (TPAR)

The Taxable payments annual report (TPAR) gathers information about payments that you made to contractors and subcontractors over the course of the fiscal year. Only payments made to suppliers who have TPAR enabled in their Supplier information record are included.

Run this report when you prepare to lodge your TPAR with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Use the information in the report to file your paper form, or give the report to your tax professional.

Before you begin

Before generating the TPAR, make sure that the Supplier record for applicable contractors has all the data needed.

  • You provided the supplier Australian business number (ABN) in the Tax ID field, or a default value if the supplier did not provide one.
  • You provided a TPAR name in the Additional information tab, if the supplier business name differs from the Print as name.
  • If you withheld taxes, you used the TPAR tab to record the amount withheld.
  • You recorded whether or not you received a statement by a supplier, on the TPAR tab.

Run the report

  1. Go to Accounts PayableAll tabReportsTaxable payments annual report (TPAR).
  2. Enter a Start date of 1 July of the previous year.
  3. Enter an End date of 30 June of this year.

    The ATO requires a date range of 1 July through 30 June.

  4. For Filters, select a range of suppliers, or Select all suppliers to include all eligible suppliers with TPAR enabled.

    The report includes a supplier when both of these criteria are met:

    • TPAR is enabled in their supplier information record.
    • You made payments to the supplier during the selected date range.
  5. Select the Entity or entity group for which you want to run the report.

    If you are running the report at the entity level, your selection is limited to the current entity.

  6. For Format, select whether you want to sort by Supplier ID or Supplier name.
  7. Select View.
  8. To export the report for review outside of Sage Intacct, select Export and choose Excel or CSV format.

Next step: Ready to lodge your report? Data exported from the report is formatted for your review outside of Sage Intacct and is not ready for direct upload to the ATO. Use Export TPAR file to generate an upload file that meets ATO formatting requirements for lodging online, or provide this report to your tax professional.
