From 1 July 2012, businesses in the building and construction industry need to report the payments they make to contractors for building and construction services each year. The report covers payments made in the previous financial year and must be lodged with the ATO by 21 July of each year. The information reported about payments made to contractors is used as part of the ATO’s data matching activities to detect contractors who have not lodged income tax returns or Business Activity Statements, or who have not included all of their income in the returns that have been lodged. It is also used to assist the ATO in their review of GST input tax credit claims made by the entities that lodge the reports.
