Overview
If your organisation contracts the services of a person/business to submit payroll/taxt data to the ATO on your behalf, then the ATO want to know who this is.
The ATO refer to these types of data senders as an Intermediary.
Where to do I record the Intermediary in PayGlobal
An entity called "Intermediaries" this is located in the Organisation | Divisions folder on the PayGlobal tree or you can use the Global List shortcut (ALT+G).
You will need to create a new record for each unique Intermediary used by your organisation.
How do I link the intermediary to a Payer?
Complete the STP intermediary field on the Internal Company and/or Main Company record.
IMPORTANT: For the ATO's STP version that PayGlobal currently complies with; you only need to link Intermediaries that are registered tax agents. Linking of intermediaries that are 'economic groups' are not currently supported.
What details do the ATO require from the Intermediary?
Supplying the Tax Agent Number is only required if the intermediary is receiving a fee or other reward for completing payroll/tax reporting on behalf of an employer MUST be registered with the Australian Tax Practitioner Board (TPB)
If you do not know what your intermediary's tax agent number is, you can search the TPB register here - https://www.tpb.gov.au/registrations_search
The full name of the person who is used as a contact on behalf of an Organisation or the name of the recipient of a correspondence.
