Create a Payment Summary in the Writer Portal

Now available in the Writer Portal: Payment Summary documents.

This document can be used for tax purposes or for other business requirements.

You can create summaries based on the AU and/or NZ financial year, or for a set date range.

We're pleased to let you know that you can now create a Payment Summary document when you log in to the Writer Portal.

This is a document you can use for tax purposes or to generate a summary for a specific period of time.

If your manager or bookkeeper is a Secondary user with Financial permission, they're also able to generate a Payment Summary on your behalf.

• Log in to the Writer Portal, using the email address this email was sent to; create a password if you haven't logged in before
• Go to the Royalties tab, click on Payment Summary
