Please Don't Send Us Your Income Statements
July 24, 2020
There's no need to send your income statements to us. We will get them directly from the ATO.
As most people are now aware, the way employers report to employees is changing. The new Single Touch Payroll (STP) regieme means that Income Satements on myGov have replaced PAYG Payment Summaries given out by employers.
Some clients have been printing these Income Statements from myGov to send to us. There is no need to do this. We can access your Income Statments directly from the ATO.
Importantly, your Income Statement contains your Tax File Number (TFN) when printed. TFNs should never be sent via email for security reasons.
Instead, just check myGov to be sure that your Income Statement is finalised, then let us know your tax is ready to be done. We will get your Income Statement directly from the ATO.
You can read more about Income Statements on the ATO's website.
You can read more about keeping your TFN safe on the ATO's website.
