Bookkeeping for Sunshine, Industrial & Small Business

Sunshine and the outer western suburbs have a high concentration of industrial businesses, manufacturing operators, trades, and logistics companies. Most are owner-operated with complex compliance obligations and no in-house bookkeeper.
Sunshine businesses include trades (plumbing, electrical, carpentry, concreting), light manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics. These industries carry specific complexity, TPAR for subcontractor payments, multiple AWAs and Modern Awards for staff, fuel and vehicle expense claims, and complex equipment finance structures.

What is TPAR and do Sunshine trades businesses need to lodge it?
TPAR (Taxable Payments Annual Report) is required if your Sunshine trades business operates in construction, cleaning, courier, IT, or security and pays subcontractors. It must be lodged with the ATO by 28 August each year, reporting gross payments and ABNs for each subcontractor. True Tally prepares and lodges TPAR as part of our trades bookkeeping service.
