Definitions and how to report correctly 

Authorised booking number 

This number is unique to each BEA and identifies the BEA holder. It's a five or six-digit number printed on the BEA approval that was e-mailed or mailed to the contact person nominated in the BEA application.

What if I didn't operate or book any trips during the reporting period?

If you're not operating yet or haven't taken any bookings during a reporting period, you need to advise TMR by e-mail at the end of the quarter.

If you haven't provided any trips in a quarter but you have affiliated vehicles or drivers, you still need to submit a quarterly report.

You can request an alternative version of the reporting forms that allow you to leave some worksheets blank. To do so, please contact PT_Data_Reporting@tmr.qld.gov.au

When you receive the alternative form, include the details of any affiliated drivers and available vehicles and leave the rest of the form blank. In your covering e-mail, tell TMR you are not operating yet or haven’t taken any bookings for the quarter.

What if I subcontracted a job to another BEA during the reporting period?

BEA holders need to provide a report that covers all the trips they arrange. If you ‘subcontract’ bookings to another BEA holder or driver during a reporting period — for example, to help meet demand for a large event — you need to include the driver and vehicle details in your report. This is because you are the BEA holder that arranged the trip.
