The 2016-17 electronic annual reconciliation (e-AR) is now available.
All businesses registered for payroll tax must perform an e-AR online via PTX Express at the end of each financial year. Each e-AR should take about 30 minutes to complete.
Your 2016-17 e-AR must be completed and lodged with any amount owing by 21 July 2017.
Gather supporting information
You need the following information before you lodge your e-AR:
- A break-up of Victorian wages into taxable components for the year,
- A break-up of the group Victorian wages into taxable components for the year (if you are the designated group employer),
- The total of any interstate wages paid,
- The amount of any Victorian primary tax paid for the period of this reconciliation,
- Interstate wages and tax paid in Victoria, for all members of the group (if you are the designated group employer),
- If you pay fringe benefits, your FBT return for the 2016-17 FBT year,
- Estimated Victorian and interstate wages for the following year, and
- Estimated group Victorian and interstate wages for the following year (if you are the designated group employer)
