At the end of the payroll year (EOPY), all you need to do is finish paying your employees for the year, check your payroll data and finalise with the ATO.

Remember, you need to finalise your payroll information before the ATO deadline, which is typically July 14.

To ensure everything goes smoothly, make sure you're using the latest AccountRight version. This gives you access to the latest features and helps keep you compliant.
