A Guide To Accessing Your Income Statement Online
Fulton Hogan Australia
This end of financial year, Fulton Hogan Payroll will not be providing a payment summary. Your payment summary information will be available via the ATO online services via myGov. The income statement is a new name for payment summary (sometimes referred to as a group certificate).
It is not compulsory to have a myGov account. If you use a registered agent/accountant to lodge your tax return, they will have access to your income statement and you can request it from them.
If you lodge your own tax return and you do not want to create a myGov account to access your income statement, you can phone the Australian Taxation Office on 13 28 61 to request a copy of your income statement.
