Hello, I am electronics engineer, I had been hired by a small company from 18/3/2024 to 3/6/2024, Now I tried to do my lodgment for my tax return for financial year 2024, and I discovered that my employer never reported or paid my PAYG withholding to the ATO. NOTE: during my short period of employment the employer was deducting my PAYG amount from my gross income and I have a pay slips for every payment I received. I tried many times to contact the employer to ask him when you will pay my PAYG withholding amount to the ATO and there is no response... so what should I do???. I am new migrant in Australia and I can't do the tax return because there is no history on my TFN as I said before my previous employer never paid or reported my tax to the ATO


Note: I called the ATO twice and they said keep trying to contact the employer

Hi @mohsamy,


Don't worry!! It can be difficult if the employer has done the wrong thing. Your employer may receive fines and penalties if they don't meet their reporting obligations.


You can estimate your income using the payslips to lodge your tax return. 


You'll need to lodge your tax return with the correct pay amount, and we'll amend your tax return.


If you think the employer has intentionally done the wrong thing you can make a tip-off on our website.
