Save time lodging contractor payments with TPAR

posted in Uncategorized

Taxable Payment Annual Report (TPAR) lodgments are fast approaching their due date of 28 August for the last financial year and this year it’s going to be easier than ever before with Xero.

You can now lodge TPAR directly to the ATO from Xero at the press of a button.

Currently, people fill in a paper form and send it to the ATO, or use Xero to create a TPAR and upload the file to the ATO portal. This is time-consuming as it requires double handling of data and the use of multiple systems. Lodging TPAR direct via Xero makes the process easier by eliminating the need for multiple systems or paper forms; saving time and streamlining workflows, helping you deal with TPAR more efficiently.

Here’s what some of our partners had to say about lodging TPAR from Xero

“I’ve had the chance to use this – it’s great – so easy to file.” Cassandra Scott, Laurus Enterprises Pty Ltd
“OMG This was awesome. I absolutely dreaded doing the TPAR through the portal.” Kathy-Maree Bartle, Books Alive Bookkeeping
