The Payment Times Reporting Scheme Portal can now be used for making payment times reports under the Payment Times Reporting Scheme.
The scheme applies to businesses that:
- are constitutionally-covered;
- carry on an enterprise in Australia;
- meet the income threshold of over $100 million in total annual income; and
- have a total annual income greater than $10 million and that are members of a group headed by a controlling corporation with a combined total income greater than $100 million.
Commonwealth corporate entities and Commonwealth companies who meet the income threshold are also required to report.
If a business meets the criteria, it is required to report the payment terms and practices for its small business suppliers. ‘Payment times reports’ must be submitted online twice per year.
