Single Touch Payroll (STP) is an ATO initiative to streamline payroll reporting. You’ll be able to report payroll and super information directly to the ATO when you process a pay run in MYOB Essentials. As a result of this change, you'll no longer need to complete payment summaries at the end of the financial year as your employees' payroll information will be available to through myGov.

MYOB Essentials will be compliant prior to the first reporting date.

Things to do now

Take a look at set up Single touch payroll reporting which steps you through checking your payroll details in readiness for STP reporting.

Next steps

You need to do a headcount of your employees as at 1 April 2018. This is a headcount – not the full time equivalent (FTE) number. The ATO website explains more about this headcount.

Did you have 20 or more employees on 1 April 2018?

Yes

You’ll need to start reporting payroll and super information using Single Touch Payroll from 1 July 2018.

Instructions on how to get ready are coming soon.

No

You don’t need to use STP reporting now, it's only optional.

But, watch this space. All employers may need to start reporting using STP from 1 July 2019, subject to new legislation being passed.
