List of available reports

The reports available are listed in Table 5.

Availability and access to these reports will depend on your software.

Manage report subscription

Manage report subscription allows for the addition or deletion of a subscription to the Electronic funds transfer report (EFTRS).

Manage agent trust (MAT)

The manage agent trust (MAT) service allows you to create, maintain and remove a registered agent trust account.

Upon providing details of their trust account, this will then enable you to receive the EFT reconciliation report that shows details of each EFT refund sent to your nominated trust account.

Get report

The Get report function allows you to retrieve a generated report. The reports functions are available to registered agents and fall into 3 categories:

• compulsory
• subscribed
• on-demand.

The lodgment performance report is a compulsory report to registered agents. It provides statistical information on the status and number of tax lodgments made during a lodgment period.

The generation of these reports will be initiated by us periodically or at specific points in time when required. You do not have the choice to opt-out from receiving compulsory reports.

The activity statement client report (ASCRPT), activity statement lodgment report (ASLRPT) and income tax client report (ITCRPT) are on-demand and you must request these every time they are required, unless your software is designed to auto send requests on your behalf.
