If you were unable to report your payroll information to the ATO while processing pays, you can send the report from the online reporting centre. Remember, you need to report your payroll information on or before each pay day according to the rules of reporting through Single Touch Payroll (ATO website).

    What if there are no reports in the Payroll Reporting Centre? This could be because you've set up Single Touch Payroll after you've started entering pays for the financial year. But don't worry, the ATO does not receive the details of individual pay runs, only the year-to-date payroll amounts. So, the next time you record a pay and submit it to the ATO, the latest year-to-date totals will be submitted.

    If this isn't the reason there's no reports in the Payroll Reporting Centre, check Where are my Single Touch Payroll reports? for more tips.

  2. Click the elipses ... and choose Send to ATO.

How do I fix or delete a report that's been sent to the ATO?

You can't delete or "undo" a report that's been sent to the ATO. Instead, the next time you record a pay and submit it to the ATO, the latest year-to-date totals will be submitted.

This means if you've reported a wrong amount to the ATO, reverse or delete the incorrect pay, record it again and submit it to the ATO.
