This page shows you how to generate a COVID-19 Re-contribution file for lodgment with the ATO. Currently, the ATO doesn't have facilities to accept lodgments directly through Class.

Generating a COVID-19 Re-contribution file for lodgment

Navigate to the Fund Level > Transactions > Browse Events

1. Group by Type > go to Type: Member Contribution > click on the business event that was entered with a COVID-19 Re-contribution amount
2. Click Generate COVID-19 Re-contribution Report
   
   
3. Click Yes from the pop-up screen for COVID-19 Re-contribution Report Declaration
   
   
   
   
4. The CSV file will be downloaded once you've clicked Yes as above.

Please note if there is any error (e.g. missing TFN, ABN, etc...), the first column "FileErrorType" in the generated file will show details of the error. The administrator will need to correct the specified error(s) before re-generating the file for lodgment.
