BankLink Practice, Australia only
To comply with the ATO reporting requirements, businesses in the building and construction industry that engage the services of contractors are required to report on the total payments made to contractors.
MYOB Banklink Practice (version 5.24 or later) is able to:
- store Contractor Payees
- process payments to contractors, and
- produce the annual Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) required by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
First, you need to set up your Contractor Payees so that these payees can be used when coding transactions. At the end of the period in BankLink Practice, you can generate the Taxable Payments Reports that will show both the payments to contractors and the amount of tax withheld for contractors with no Australian Business Number (ABN). This will provide you with the information required to submit the TPAR to the ATO.

- Select Other Functions > Payees. The Maintain Payee List window appears.
- Click New. The Add New Payee window opens.
- Enter the Payee details.

FAQs
Any contractor that has no ABN, i.e. where tax has been withheld from their payment, will need to appear correctly on the Taxable Payments Report.
To ensure this is correctly and accurately reported, the contractor payee must be set to calculate 46.5% No ABN Withholding Tax on the net amount. In addition to this, when a contractor payee does not have an ABN, the contractor payer cannot claim the GST input tax credit, so no GST is calculated.
