# How to report contractor payments for TPAR from Sage 300

Check if you must lodge, list vendor payments from 1 July to 30 June from Sage 300 and report ABN, name, address, gross and GST. Lodge online by 28 August.

The Taxable payments annual report (TPAR) tells the ATO what you paid contractors in certain industries during the financial year.

## Before you start

- Sage 300 Accounts Payable
- A/P security authorisation for the screen

## The Sage 300 way

Where to find it: Accounts Payable reports by vendor account set, plus a custom report or macro

1. Mark subcontractor vendors using a separate account set or an optional field.
2. Build a custom AP report for those vendors showing amount paid, GST and ABN for the financial year.
3. Export the data to the format the ATO software or portal needs.

## Limits in Sage 300

- The standard AP guide only has 1099 and CPRS reporting (US and Canada). No TPAR report was found in Sage 300 or the Australia Tax Reports guide.
- The Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate product (different) has a Close Taxable Payments Year task.

## Common mistakes

- Using the 1099 or CPRS reports, which are for the US and Canada.
- Leaving contractor vendors unmarked, so a custom report cannot pick them out.

## Common questions

### How would I mark contractors?

Use a separate account set or an optional field for subcontractor vendors. Then build a custom AP report showing amount paid, GST and ABN for the financial year.
