Some businesses and government entities who make payment to contractors may need to report these payments to the ATO through TPAR so that they are prevented from under-reporting or not reporting their income.
Businesses in the following industries may need to lodge TPAR:
- Building and construction services
- Cleaning services
- Courier services or road freight services
- Information technology services
- Security, investigation and surveillance services
- Government entities
You need to report the following on TPAR:
