Trustees: lodging on time unlocks important benefits and avoids consequences. Assistant Commissioner Jenny Lin
advises 'Timely and accurate lodgment can help trustees reduce the likelihood of unnecessary compliance activity. ATO will take firmer action against trustees who repeatedly fail to lodge, which may include referring them for prosecution.

If you need to lodge a Taxable payments annual report (TPAR) and haven't done so already, review your records and lodge electronically now to meet your reporting obligations. As explained in ATOโ€™s recent media release (New ATO pre-fill data makes tax time easier for contractors), this year for the first time, approximately $21 billion in payments made to contractors reported through the TPAR will automatically appear as pre-filled income in eligible tax returns, helping 700,000 sole traders and individuals in business save time, reduce mistakes and lodge with greater confidence.

The changes are part of ATO's continued investment in digital services to make tax easier to manage while supporting a level playing field for honest businesses.
