Developers

Using SBR-enabled software, businesses will be able to realise the benefits of reporting to government directly from their financial, accounting or payroll system.

SBR will streamline business-to-government financial reporting, including business activity statements, Pay as You Go returns, tax file number declarations, and company tax returns to the ATO; financial statements to ASIC; and payroll tax reports to all eight State and Territory revenue offices. See the full list of reports in scope.

The implementation of SBR within financial, accounting and payroll software packages has several benefits for software developers, including:

the opportunity to enhance and increase the functionality and services offered to clients;
maintaining or improving competitive market positioning by implementing the latest technology; and
support from SBR to help develop compliant software more easily.
