New reporting requirements for BCI taxpayers
The ATO is reminding contractors in the building and construction industry (or ‘BCI’) to take extra care with their returns this year. Also, businesses in the building and construction industry are now required to report to the ATO the total amount they paid to each contractor for any building and construction services in 2012/13 on a ‘Taxable payments annual report’. Taxable payments annual reports are ordinarily required to be lodged by 21 July, but the ATO has provided a concession for taxpayers lodging via a tax agent – tax agents have until 25 August to submit the report. Editor: Note that this concessional lodgment arrangement is available for this year only.
The report can be lodged by agents online by using the File transfer function in the Tax Agent Portal, or direct from Standard Business Reporting-enabled software. Since this new reporting regime makes it easier for the ATO to cross check the returns of contractors in the industry (whether they work for a large building company or in a smaller domestic operation), it is important that they include all income in their tax returns. Contractors in the building and construction industry who pay other contractors to provide building and construction services must also report the payments they make on a Taxable payments annual report.
