Contractors who don’t quote an ABN

If an ABN isn’t provided, you may need to withhold an amount from the payment for that supply under the PAYG withholding arrangements.

Report the amounts withheld in either:

  • the TPAR, or
  • the PAYG payment summary – withholding where ABN not quoted form (NAT3448).

Only report this information in one of these annual reports, not both.
