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

Before you start

  • TPAR set up: ABN for the company code, TPAR Service Type configuration (G/L accounts per service type)
  • Statutory reporting set up (reporting entity AU_RPG_ENT)

The S/4HANA way

Where to find it: Run Statutory Reports app, report AU_TPAR_REP (Australia Taxable Payments Annual Report)

  1. Set up TPAR Service Type: link the expense G/L accounts (single or range) to each TPAR service type or grant.
  2. Open Run Statutory Reports and find AU_TPAR_REP for the reporting year.
  3. Choose New Run, enter Company Code and Reporting Date, and run.
  4. Download the TPAR Data File (text) and submit it on the ATO business portal.
  5. Update the submission status after you lodge. Use a correction phase if data was wrong.

Limits in S/4HANA

  • TPAR payments are found through the expense G/L accounts you configure, not a tag on the supplier.
  • Withholding tax and its payments are out of scope for this report.
  • Due 28 August each year.

Words S/4HANA uses

  • Company code. A legal entity with its own books.

Common mistakes

  • Forgetting to link an expense G/L account to a TPAR service type, so its payments are not found.
  • Expecting withholding tax payments in this report, which are out of scope.
