To generate the TFN declaration file:

  1. Go to Payroll | Employee | PAYG Declarations
  2. Select the period for which you want to generate A TFN declaration file. (This will be based on when last a change was made to an employees PAYG declaration).
  3. A filename will automatically be generated for the file, however if you want to save the file in a different location, you can click on the Browse button and browse the location where you want to save the file.
  4. Click on the Generate button to create the file.

The file that is generated is a report of all of the TFN declarations that have been entered in the selected period. This can now be sent through to the ATO, but must be accompanied by the Lodgement Form
