  • large withholders whose annual withholding is greater than $1 million
  • payers who have no tax agent or BAS agent involved in preparing the report.

25 August

  • Lodge and pay quarter 4, 2023–24 Superannuation guarantee charge statement if the employer did not pay enough contributions on time.

Note: Employers who lodge a Superannuation guarantee charge statement can choose to offset contributions they paid late to a fund against their super guarantee charge for the quarter. They still have to pay the remaining super guarantee charge.

  • Lodge Taxable payments annual report (TPAR).

Note: The TPAR tells us about payments that are made to contractors for providing services. Some government entities also need to report the grants they have paid in a TPAR.
