Taxable Payments Annual Report fails the ATO validation test

Legacy KB ID: 4974

Question

I have followed all instructions to create the Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) in Accounts Business 2013, so why does my export file fail the ATO validation?  There is no specific error mentioned.

 

Answer

Usually the last line of your validation failure notification will reference the fields in error. 

The TPAR will fail validation if you have a Branch No. included in your ABN on the company Information screen.

 

Workaround

Remove the Branch No. from the Company Information screen:

1.    Company > Company Information

2.    Under Company Identification – Tax Rego ID, remove the 3 digit number (usually 001 or 002) from the small box to the right of your ABN.

3.    Click OK;

4.    Generate the TPAR report again and create your export file;

5.    Upload to the ATO.
