Employee tax forms

Detects completed employee tax and superannuation forms: PAYG payment summaries and employee income statements, superannuation standard choice form (NAT 13080), US Form W-2 and UK P60/P45, with the payee identified and TFN/SSN, gross payments or tax withheld amounts, USI/member number, payer ABN or financial year.

Type: regex
Engine: boost_regex
Confidence: medium
Confidence justification: Medium: the primary phrases also appear in policies, guidance, blank forms and news, so enforce tiers require a populated person field and 85 adds a record-specific populated detail plus independent corroboration. Person values are customer-defined (employee IDs, position numbers), so the field regexes use labelled loose values with a placeholder guard. 85/75 are heuristic evidence tiers, not measured accuracy.
Detection quality: Topic false positive
Jurisdictions: global
Regulations: Taxation Administration Act 1953 (Cth), Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld), NDB Scheme (Cth), GDPR
Frameworks: ISO 27001, ISO 27701

Should not match

Your employer gives you an income statement through myGov instead of a PAYG payment summary. This fact sheet explains what the statement shows. — Fact sheet - must stay below 75
Superannuation standard choice form Employee name: __________ Tax file number: ___ ___ ___ USI: __________ — Blank form - must stay below 75
Employers issued 14 million PAYG payment summary and income statement records, the ATO said in a media release. — News / media release - must stay below 75
unrelated generic text without domain phrases — No relevant topic phrases present
placeholder value 12345 — Random text should not match topic-specific regex
payroll reimbursement — Generic word pair from old broad template should not match

Known false positives

Policies, directives, fact sheets, guidance and training material that name the record type. Mitigation: Enforce tiers require a populated person field; guidance text has labels without values and guidance/training/media-release framing is excluded.
Blank forms, templates and HR system configuration. Mitigation: Blank lines, square- and angle-bracket placeholders, XXX and n/a/tbc values are rejected by the placeholder guard; template/fixture words are excluded.
Aggregate statistics and news reporting. Mitigation: No populated person field, so these stay at 65 discovery.
Records that identify the person only in free text (no field label) fall to 65. Mitigation: Accepted precision trade-off; extend the person-field regex with the customer employee-id format to recover recall.
