If you've been using Single Touch Payroll reporting, your end-of-year is now a lot easier.

In most cases, you won't need to prepare payment summaries. Instead, you 'finalise' your Single Touch Payroll information directly from AccountRight.

When you finalise, the status of the employee's income statement in myGov will change to Tax ready. This means they'll be able to pre-fill and lodge their tax return. Check with the ATO on the due date for making this finalisation declaration.

Only employees who have been paid in the current payroll year appear in the EOFY Finalisation list. If an employee is not appearing, check that:

  • at least one pay been recorded for the year (even if it's a $0 pay).
  • the employee's Employment Basis is set to Individual or Labour Hire. You'll find this setting in the Payroll Details tab > Personal Details of the employee's card. Employees set as Other won't appear in the list.
