Tax File Number (TFN) declaration lodgement and reporting via the HR platform

The Tax File Number (TFN) Declaration Reporting feature allows you to lodge your employees' tax records either in bulk or individually with the ATO. You can also use this feature to mark a tax record as manually lodged if you undertook this process outside the HR platform. Finally, you can access the employee file if you need to see further details on their employment records, and update the lodgement date for a manual submission.

Helpful Hint

Contractors are included in this report, and can be sorted via the Personnel Type filter.
