Contractors can include subcontractors, consultants and independent contractors who may be operating as sole traders, companies, partnerships or trusts.
The information is collected by the ATO in order for them to identify those contractors who have not included all of their income on their tax return, not lodged tax returns or activity statements, not registered for GST where they are required to do so or quoted the wrong ABN on their invoices.

- Cleaning services
