How to lodge your pay as you go (PAYG) withholding annual reports electronically

Labelling and sending electronic storage media

Labelling electronic storage media

You should externally label all electronic storage media with:

• your ABN or WPN
• your address
• the identifier you use on the electronic storage media information forms (the identifier is a number you create and should be six characters).

If you are reporting on your own behalf, record your name and address on the form as the supplier of the media.

Sending electronic storage media

Send your electronic storage media to Media information processing services (MIPS) at the address listed in table 4.

You should pack floppy disks, ZIP disks, CD-ROMs and DVDS in a disk mailer or envelope with cardboard reinforcement, and include any required forms.
