Tax file declaration reporting generates a tax file generation report for new starters that can be submitted to the ATO.
Lodging the Tax File Declaration Report
The tax file declaration report is lodged electronically to the ATO via their ECI interface or via the ATO Business Portal. The paper based Tax File Declaration form may also be lodged physically via mail but electronic reporting can reduce your paperwork (there is no need to send forms to the ATO if you electronically lodge them).
ECI Interface
- More information on the ECI interface is available from the ECI website.
- The ATO ECI application can be downloaded here.
ATO Business Portal
- Please refer to this article on Lodging a file using the Business Portal.
