Media Release: Gimbla Launches Automated TPAR File Generation
Published June 22nd, 2026 | Team Gimbla
Media release, 22 June 2026: Australian accounting software provider Gimbla has today announced the launch of its new Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) file generation tool. The new feature is designed to reduce the year-end reporting scramble for local businesses, especially tradies, cleaners, IT professionals, and freight couriers.
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) says eligible businesses generally need to lodge a Taxable Payments Annual Report by 28 August each year. The report covers payments made to contractors and subcontractors for certain services during the financial year.
“We know that small business owners didn’t go into business to do paperwork. When July rolls around, compiling contractor payments for the ATO can be a massive headache. Our new TPAR feature tracks everything automatically throughout the year, so when it’s time to report, the hard work is already done.” — Team Gimbla
How the new feature works
Historically, preparing a TPAR has meant sorting through old bank statements, chasing up missing ABNs, and manually adding up contractor invoices. Gimbla’s new update is built to reduce that end-of-year scramble.
By keeping supplier details, bills, payments, and bank reconciliations in one central system year-round, Gimbla now allows users to generate a TPAR file from the records they already maintain. Business owners can then download that file and upload it through the ATO portal.
Key features of the update
The new Gimbla TPAR update includes several tools designed to save time:
| Feature | How it helps | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| TPAR File Generation | Creates a downloadable TPAR file for ATO portal upload. | Helps reduce manual re-entry before uploading through the ATO portal. |
| Missing Data Alerts | Flags missing contractor ABNs or addresses before generating the report. | Helps business owners find record gaps before the reporting deadline. |
| All-in-One Tracking | Links everyday bill payments and bank reconciliations to reporting. | Eliminates the need to rebuild year-end contractor data in spreadsheets. |
