New payee button:
Enter your payee's details:
Note that the we currently support two types of payees:
- arm's length employees and
- closely held payees.
It is important to choose the correct type of payee for your scenario, since these are being reported to the ATO under different income stream types:
Some concessions are available to small employers making payments to closely held payees, such family members of a family business, directors and shareholders of a company or beneficiaries of a trust, most notable being:
- quarterly reporting and
- finalising later than 14 July.
Note as well the
