After clicking OK, the option to create the report for the current period is provided. However, before proceeding, cancel out of the process and correct the problems in the ATO Taxable Payments Setup.
Return to run the Taxable Payments Annual Return until the Invalid Taxable Payments Setup screen no longer appears and instead the first screen displayed is the option to create the report for the current period.
To run the report for a previously reported period, click No or to cancel the process click Cancel. Otherwise to run the report for the Current Period, select Yes.
If Cancel is selected, the process is aborted.
If No is selected, a pop up window is displayed to select the period to be printed and optionally submitted. Usually this option is selected to run the report for a period previously reported to the ATO, however it can also be run for the current period where details are to be reviewed prior to submission.
If Yes is selected, a parameters screen is displayed with the current period date range:
After confirming the date range, the Taxable Payments Integrity Check screen is displayed. Please read the dialogue screen thoroughly to determine whether the Integrity Check should be run or not:
After addressing the Taxable Payments Integrity Check question, the option is provided to run a Detailed or Summary Report. The dialogue box explains the difference between the two reports.
Choose a report layout. The following is a sample of the Taxable Payments Annual Report in Summary form:
These reports are for internal purposes only. The Detailed and Summary Taxable Payments Annual Reports cannot be submitted to the ATO. The ATO requires the Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) to be submitted electronically in a complying data file or on the forms provided by the ATO.
On exiting the Report Viewer, if the following message is displayed, the BusinessCraft installation for requires updating to allow the Taxable Payments Annual Return to be sent to the ATO using SBR:
The Taxable Payments Annual Report can still be submitted via the ATO Portal but not using BusinessCraft Standard Business Reporting.
If it is preferred to submit via SBR, click No and arrange for assistance to ensure the installation is updated and then recommence running the report.
A prompt will be displayed to create the Taxable Payments Data file. This defaults to No so that the Detailed or summary reports can be reviewed first. After reviewing the reports, the Taxable Payments Data file can be created by clicking Yes.
The Taxable Payments Annual Report Parameter screen appears with the defaults populated. Unless there is a specific reason to, leave the defaults and click OK. The system will now create the Taxable Payments Data File.
On successful creation of the Taxable Payments Data File, the Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) Completed dialogue box is displayed with the location of the file created.
Select No to submit via the ATO Business Portal and the screen will close. Go to the ATO Business Portal and submit the file by selecting it form the location specified.

The BusinessCraft Standard Business Reporting screen is displayed. Detailed help is provided on the right-hand side of the screen:
The display of this screen indicates the intention to submit the Taxable Payments Annual Return by SBR. If this was not intended, click the red x in the right-hand corner of the screen to exit without submitting.

If an AUSKEY does not appear in the credential field, then exit the screen, ensure an AUSKEY is installed and recommence the process or submit the information using one of the alternative permitted methods.

It is very important to correctly configure and maintain the ATO Taxable Payments Reporting Control screen as failure to do so will usually result in the Taxable Payments Annual Return being rejected by the ATO.
