We’re sending reminders to businesses to make sure they report all government payments income when lodging their tax return.
If you receive payments to provide services, such as healthcare, disability support or childcare under a Commonwealth program, you need to:
- keep accurate records
- report all Government Payments Program (GPP) income you receive at the correct label of your tax return
- lodge and pay your tax in full and on time to avoid penalties, interest charges and firmer actions.
Government Payments Program
We are committed to strengthening the integrity of government payments through our GPP work and collaboration with participating agencies.
We are a member of the Fraud Fusion Taskforce, a multi-agency initiative to combat fraud against government payment programs such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
Support
If you have concerns about your ability to lodge and pay by the due dates, contact your registered tax professional or visit our website before the due date to find out what options are available to you.
For more information on how to meet your obligations by correctly reporting your GPP income, visit ato.gov.au/GPP.
Keep up to date
We have tailored communication channels for medium and large private and public groups and multinational businesses to keep you up to date with updates and changes you need to know.
