Does Your Business Pay Contractors? TPAR Deadline: 28 August 2025

If your business pays contractors, you may need to lodge a Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) by 28 August 2025 to meet your reporting obligations and avoid penalties.

Who Needs to Lodge a TPAR?

Businesses that pay contractors for the following services are required to lodge:

  • Building and construction
  • Cleaning
  • Courier and road freight
  • Information technology (IT)
  • Security, investigation, or surveillance

The TPAR ensures accurate income reporting by contractors.

What Information Is Required?

The TPAR must include:

  • Contractor’s name, address, and ABN
  • Total payments made in the financial year, including GST and cash payments

These details are available on contractor invoices and align with your tax deductions and GST reporting records.
