Questions
What is a section 165 statement?
A periodic statement on IRIS listing the tax you withheld or collected, payee by payee. A nil statement can still be required.
Why does the payee’s ATL status matter?
Many withholding rates are higher for persons not on the Active Taxpayer List, so we check status before each payment run.
Can you do this monthly for us?
Yes, as a fixed monthly service alongside bookkeeping.
