Summary

PGPRTAXA026A is the Tax File Declaration report to be used from 30 September 2017 onwards.

The difference between v2.3.1 and v3.0.0 is:

• A new Payee data record field called "Payee tax status".

  This field is used by the ATO to identify whether the employee is either a Resident, Non-Resident or Working Holiday Maker for tax purposes.

• Various Payee data record fields removed

  Includes: "Payee terminated", "Residency Status ", "Working Holiday maker indicator", "Senior Australians tax offset claimed", "Zone, dependent or special rebates claimed" and the 2 filler fields that started at positions 304 and 305.

• Replacing the Payer contact fax with contact email.

  Note: Set-up and running the new version of the TFN Declaration v3.0.0 is no different to the existing v2.3.1 report.
