TPAR validation error VR07 – Supplier name incorrect

Legacy KB ID: 4997

Question

Why does the ATO reject my Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) file?  The error is:

I have checked by Supplier details and a telephone number has been included.

Answer

Enter the company's legal name in the Company Name field of Company Information section in your Reckon Accounts data file.

Cause:

The reference to Supplier is in relation to the ATO and refers to you, the business providing the Taxable Payments Annual Report.

The ATO is expecting your legal company name but has found a name it does not recognise because it:

• Differs slightly to the legal company name
• Contains an illegal character.

Illegal characters are:

1. Windows Naming Convention. For example,  <  >  :  “  /  \  |  ?  *
2. Other non-alphanumeric characters such as  ~  !  @  #  $  %  ^  &  (  )  +  =  `

Detailed Instructions

1. Click on the Company menu and select Company Information from the list of options.
2. In the Contact Information section, enter your legal company name in the Company Name field. 
   Ensure there are no additional spaces either within the name or before or after. 
3. Create the TPAR export file again.
