Local government entities do not need to report grants. If you make any of these payments you need to report them in the Taxable payments annual report and lodge the report to the ATO by 28 August. How to lodge your report You can lodge the report online by creating your report using business software that can generate the Taxable payments annual report. You can then lodge it through the ATO’s Portal’s by selecting ‘File transfer facility’.
