Payment summary schedule (PS)

ATO has decommissioned the payment summary schedule (PS) for 2020 Individual tax returns. See Salary or wages payment summary(egc).

This schedule is used to report details on voluntary agreements; labour, hire or other specified payments; amounts withheld where no ABN has been quoted; and attributed Personal Services Income. Only one schedule should be attached to a return form.

Non-individual PS schedules will only show details of amounts withheld where no ABN has been quoted for income of a business nature.

When completing the Payment summary schedule, all the details of the payment are required for lodging by the approved electronic channel ELS or PLS. For all income returns to which the Payment Summary Schedule applies (C, F, SMSF, P, and T), whole dollars only are required for Tax withheld due to:

No ABN quoted, and
Foreign resident withholding (excluding capital gains).
