Before reporting payroll and super information to the ATO, you need to check that your company information and employee details meet ATO requirements. To do this, you can check your details in MYOB Essentials and view a list of errors that need fixing. You also need to assign ATO reporting category to each pay item you use. This includes earnings, deductions and superannuation pay items. The ATO category indicates the type of payment you're reporting (is it a gross wage amount or an allowance?) After you've updated your payroll with all the required information, you can connect to the ATO and start reporting using Single Touch Payroll. | UI Expand |
