Single Touch Payroll (STP) is a simple way to report your employees’ payroll information to the ATO and keep your business compliant. Tell me more about STP.

MYOB Essentials helps you get STP ready—here's what's involved:

Ready to get started?

To start reporting your payroll information via STP from 1 July, we recommend finishing your last pays for June and preparing your payment summaries. Once that's out of the way, you're ready to set up STP for the new payroll year.

To get started, go to the Payroll menu and choose Payroll Reporting.

What happens after I'm set up for STP?

Once you've connected to the ATO, you're all set up for Single Touch Payroll reporting. You won't notice anything new while entering your pays, but after you process a pay you'll now have to send the payroll information to the ATO.

This is easily done, enter the name of the authorised sender and click Send.

Each time you submit a pay run, your employees' year-to-date payroll information is submitted to the ATO.

You can check the status of your submissions by going to the Payroll menu and choosing Payroll Reporting.
