PAYG withholding where ABN not quoted – annual report

How to complete the form when you have to report amounts you withheld from a supplier (NAT 3448).

Last updated 10 September 2025

Use this form when reporting amounts you withheld from a supplier that did not quote their Australian business number (ABN).

You must include all known details for each payee from which you withheld amounts. So you are not required to include copies of individual payment summaries with this annual report when lodging it. These should be kept for your records.

If you are a business in the building and construction industry, you need to report to us the total payments you make to each contractor for building and construction services each year.

These payments are reported to us on the Taxable payments annual report, including any amounts withheld from payments made to contractors that didn't quote an ABN during the financial year.

Don't include any amounts in the PAYG withholding where no ABN quoted – annual report (NAT 3448) that you have already reported in the Taxable payments annual report.
