Period during which payments were made

Show the period during which you made the payments to the payee. Use the format DDMMYYYY. For example, show the period 25 September 2013 to 4 January 2014 as:

If the payee worked on a casual basis during the year, write the period of the year the payments were made over. If the payee worked on a casual basis over various times for the whole year, show the period as the whole financial year.

You do not need to show the first and last pay dates for the financial year in this field. If the payee has been employed for the entire year, show the period as 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015.

Show the total tax withheld in whole dollars. For example, show $16,672.70 as:

Gross payments or gross attributed income

Include the amount you paid (or that was attributed to the payee) including the market value of any non-cash benefits you provided. Show whole dollars only.

For example, $35,102.75 would be shown as:

Reportable employer superannuation contributions

Complete this section if you paid contributions to a superannuation fund at the request of the payee. This includes amounts paid at the direction of the payee under a salary sacrifice or similar arrangement, but not contributions that are made by you to meet your superannuation guarantee obligations or industrial agreement obligations in respect of the payee.

You must record the cash value of that part of the superannuation contribution on the payee's payment summary for the income year 1 July to 30 June.

If you provide workers for other businesses under a labour-hire arrangement, you must withhold amounts from payments you make to the individual workers and send these amounts to us.

Personal services income is income that is mainly a reward for personal efforts or skills and is generally paid either to an individual or to a personal services entity (a company, partnership or trust).

There are special rules for how income tax applies to certain personal services income.

Attributed personal services income is the net amount of income that has been treated as belonging to the individual who performed the work.
