Reporting Vendor Bills and Bill Payments on TPAR

Bills paid to a TPAR eligible vendor are automatically reported on the Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR). To declare a vendor as eligible or reportable for TPAR, see Setting Up Payee Details for TPAR.

When you enter a bill payment for a TPAR eligible vendor, the Include in TPAR box on the AUS Reporting subtab is checked by default. You can exclude a bill payment from the report when you clear this box. To exclude a transaction, see Excluding Bill Payments from TPAR.

Payments made through cash, check, and electronic funds transfer (EFT) are reportable for TPAR. To manually select reportable bill payments, see Including Bill Payments in TPAR.

Bills paid through BPAY, recurring debit, credit card, and debit card are not reportable for TPAR. You must exclude these transactions from the report. For more information, see Excluding Bill Payments from TPAR.

Bills paid with grants are reported separately. For more information, see Reporting Grants on TPAR.

When you void bill payments, the GST paid, Withholding Tax, and Gross amount paid values show zero values in the TPAR Summary Report. If you enable the Void Transactions Using Reversing Journals preference in Accounting preferences, void bill payments open a voiding journal form and reopens any linked transactions. Likewise, the void bill payment shows up in the TPAR but will have a zero Gross amount paid value because it is void. For more information, see Void Transactions Using Reversing Journals Preference.
