You or your client can apply for a statement of tax record (STR), showing satisfactory engagement from us via our online services. You'll receive the STR through the same online service within 4 business days.
To ensure your client is successful in receiving a satisfactory STR:
- apply early to allow time for processing before the tender closing date
- tax obligations (registration, lodgment, and payment) must be up to date. This includes allowing sufficient time for the relevant obligations to be processed by us within our service standard.
We can't fast track the processing of your outstanding obligations because you've applied for an STR. Before you apply, ensure your clients have:
- registered for an ABN, GST and a TFN
- lodged at least 90% of their tax returns, BAS and FBT returns, that were due in the past 4 years
- paid any undisputed outstanding debts of $10,000 and over or have a payment plan in place with us.
