Business transactions
Organisations that process transactions for their business clients through an electronic payment system are now required to report these to us.
The information is reported to us in a Business transactions through payment systems report.
These business transactions may need to be taken into consideration when completing your tax return.
If the business transactions belong to a related entity, or belong to another non-related entity, see What if you don’t agree with the pre-filled information?.
