STP – Single Touch Payroll – is the process where the payroll software sends the pay-run details as well as the super due, as an amount that is the total (year-to-date) as at each pay-run, to the ATO. It means Payment Summaries are not be required at Year End – the ATO will have all they need already, by the last pay-run that is recorded as PAID in June!
Preparing –
- Businesses with 20+ employees MUST be ready by 1 July 2018
- Businesses with 19 or LESS employees – must start 1 July 2019
